Nice one, the first link below has more details as you probably know. The second link has more information about the similarities between the early Kennebec and Morris canoes.

KENNEBEC build information request
Kennebec #3139 measures over 15 ft and under 16 ft approximately 15'6". Closed gunwale and splayed stem. Don't know what you would call it for length. I have had it for about 40 years and use it regularly. Build information would be very interesting to me. Please help. Thank you, Robert
Kennebec and Morris connections
A recent Facebook message claimed that some Kennebec canoes have flared stems because a Waterville fire led them to sub-contract with Morris for some canoes. Similar ideas have been debated in these forums for many years. It may be worth consolidating all of these theories in one place to help...
Thanks, Benson! I love knowing the history and feeling connected to that time while paddling this wonderful canoe!
