"This gorgeous history of a venerable Maine business contains more thrills and spills, twists and turns than a day at the annual Kenduskeag Stream Canoe Race."
—Dick Shaw, Bangor Daily News

"This is the fascinating story of a family company, artfully retold in a book meant for sharing—an armchair departure point for reminiscences. . . . Once settled into a comfortable chair with this book opened and the story beckoning, it is all too easy to be swept up in the romantic legacy of the Old Town canoe."
—Nancy McGinnis, Central Maine Newspapers

The Old Town Canoe Company has a rich and diverse history now spanning a century, and its story is told here in rich and colorful detail, from the earliest wood-and-canvas canoes to today's sleek polymer models. Wonderful illustrations and motifs have been selected from a hundred years of Old Town Canoe Company catalogs, along with stunning photographs, past and present, of Old Town's canoes, launches, runabouts, dinghies, sailboats, kayaks, and more.
