Lowell's Boat Shop

These videos are an extension of Lowell's Boat Shop's mission, which is to serve as a living connection to our past; a safe harbor where curious minds and intrepid adventurers can connect with our collective history. Founded in 1793, Lowell’s Boat Shop is more than the birthplace of the dory—it's a National Historic Landmark where students, maritime enthusiasts, historians and boatbuilders continue to build, row, and restore boats. In this way, Lowell’s provides our community with a conduit to our rich heritage. Through our shop and these videos, we’re building bridges between our past and our present; relationships between mentors and students; and skill sets that last a lifetime.
