PEREGRINE

An exclusive 17'6" Atkinson Traveler Canoe
Built by
Rollin Thurlow and Jerry Stelmok

In 1975 in Lubec Maine, Jerry and Rollin, fresh out of boatbuilding school purchased the small Island Falls Canoe company from Clint Tuttle. Together for a few formative years and then separately they have pursued the craft of building, restoring, instructing, and writing about the exquisite traditional water craft.

Now in their combined 100 years of experience they have come together and built “Peregrine” incorporating the best practices and detailing they have collectively developed.

"Real Canoes, Built Right!"

Experience the grace and beauty of a custom built wood and canvas canoe from Island Falls Canoe! We have been building canoes since 1975 and with twenty different models and lots of beautiful options we can build the perfect canoe for your paddling pleasure.

Only in a wooden canoe can you fully realize the peace and joy that comes with paddling a traditional, and elegant handmade watercraft, that perfectly suits its environment. Our lovely wood and canvas canoes are built one at a time to special order in our canoe shop in Atkinson, Maine. Since 1975 we have specialized in the enduring designs of 19th century canoe building pioneer, E.M. White of Old Town, Maine. Island Falls continues to use only the finest white cedar, spruce, white ash, mahogany and black cherry stock to produce new versions of these classic designs with all the integrity, styling, and grace of the original models.

We also offer full restoration and repair services, scale model canoes, limited edition decorated canoes, and related artwork and books. At Island Falls Canoe we take seriously your interests in acquiring the perfect, beautiful and enduring canoe of your dreams.
