A Day at Lowell’s Boat Shop

A friend of mine & ace photographer – John Burland snapped the photos below last week at the Lowell Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts, USA.

The shop was established in 1793 & Lowell’s is the oldest continuously operating boat shop in America and is cited as the birthplace of the legendary fishing dory. Located on the North bank of the Merrimack River, Lowell’s Boat Shop is now a non profit working museum dedicated to building classic wooden dories and skiffs.

They use a lot of yellow & green paint on their boats, its not that they bought a container load – yellow and green are traditional colours with the highest contrast for visibility in fog.
