Research Note(s)

"This canoe was carried on George Gordon King's steamyacht Ladoga #123p which had been launched at HMCo in July 1885." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. January 30, 2009.)

"This vessel's contract date was estimated from the original plan date. Plan 28-2 (formerly 75-4) from which this boat was built was drawn 1886-02. #123p Ladoga (for which this vessel was built) was finished 1885-07. This boat's contract or building date is about 7 months after #123p Ladoga was finished." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)
