Edwin White was one of several prominent canoe builders of Old Town, Maine. Born in 1869, he started building canoes around 1885 at Gilman Falls, Maine. He built birch bark canoes at first then transitioned to canvas covered canoes. In 1895 his brother George and Alfred E. Wickett were working for him. Wickett would go on to help start the Indian Old Town Canoe Company (later just Old Town Canoe Company). White moved his business to Old Town, Maine in 1896 and built high quality canoes into the 1940s.
