It’s no secret that Old Town Canoes are known worldwide, but this picture from the past really cements that fact.
As the caption explains, a worker at the venerable Old Town company was working on a pair of 30-foot war canoes that would be used by tourists at an attraction called “Disneyland.”
Disneyland itself was less than a year old when the photo appeared on June 19, 1956, and the two canoes under construction doubled the size of the resort’s “fleet” of Old Town canoes.
It’d be interesting to know what ever happened to those massive canoes.
