X2008.601 All-Wood Racing Canoe Builder: Walter Dean Model: Unknown Length:16' Beam: 34" Date Built: Unknown This is an early all-wood racing canoe, built by Walter Dean of Ontario. It is a low-profile boat, with a large deck in front to keep out the spray, but otherwise built very light. It is brass batten-seam planking over oak ribs and stems, with wide thwarts for seats. The deck is made of flat boards joining in a high sharp crown in the middle with a tall, forward-angled coaming. This boat is very complete, although the coaming is cracked and missing a few pieces, and one thwart is held in by a door-hinge. Varnish on the hull is coagulated, and the finish is mostly gone from the interior and stern deck. EVS08Collection
