Lowell’s Boat Shop is a working museum and National Historic Landmark, perched on the Merrimack River on Main Street in Amesbury. The non-profit is in their third century of boatbuilding and houses a museum of maritime artifacts, but also vigorously pursues their mission to "perpetuate the art and craft of wooden boat building" with classes, apprenticeships, and events that give access to skill development in the shop and on on the waterfront.
