Lowell's Boat Shop

Lowell's Boat Shop is America's oldest continuously operating boat shop, located in Amesbury, Massachusetts, and dating back to 1793. The shop has specialized in traditional wooden boat construction, particularly the famous Amesbury skiff and other traditional New England small craft. Lowell's Boat Shop has maintained traditional boat building techniques and knowledge that might otherwise have been lost to modernization. The shop's work represents the preservation of American maritime heritage and traditional craftsmanship. Their boats are built using time-honored methods and designs that reflect centuries of New England boat building expertise. Lowell's Boat Shop serves as both a working boat yard and a museum of traditional boat building, educating future generations about traditional maritime crafts and maintaining the skills necessary to build classic American small boats.
