Vintage Wooden Canoe Canadian Type.
Beautiful rare old twelve foot wooden canoe that dates from just post war I guess. You will not see many like this! I bought it from the boatyard in Dedham in & replaced a few ribs, rubbed it down & varnished it. I made the bottom boards & folding seats.The canoe comes with two old original paddles & two newer ones. The side planks are hardwood & clenched to the ribs with copper nails in the traditional way & the floor is flat marine ply, so the canoe floats in very shallow water. There is a very small area of rot on the rear deck shown in the last photo, & the canoe could do with a quick sand & re-varnish to tidy it. Our children loved the canoe, but sadly it has not been used for about 30 years, so it is time for someone else to enjoy it now. The canoe can take two adults with two small children sitting between the adults legs. The canoe can be viewed in Harwich Essex. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
