Presently Afloat
We’ve created this page to capture our canoes and boats that were, at some point, shown on other pages as ‘Sold’. For those that had prior full listings you only need to click on the description to view all of the details.
Others, that were restored to order from our inventory and never made it to the site in formal fashion, are also listed on this page. Several of them will show up in the ‘Rogues Gallery’. It was only recently that we realized we should be documenting all of our output, so photos are only available for some.

Very good condition, needs new canvas and interior hull refinishing. Sold by Folsom Arms Co. in NYC under their brand, Indian Girl.
1913 Old Town HW model AA grade SOLD
This AA grade canoe is an excellent example of very early open gunwale construction. The hull is in near perfect condition as are the original seats, decks and thwarts.
c.1915 B.N. Morris SOLD
Morris was arguably the finest builder of wood and canvas canoes in the United States. He used only the highest quality materials and coupled them with superb craftsmanship. As he was known to say “I only produce one grade of canoe – the best.” From his shop in Veazie, Maine he produced canoes from about 1887 to 1920 when fire consumed that facility. This is a very nicely preserved representation of his best work.
