Woody On Tour – USA

A good friend , John Burland has been mooching around the eastern shores of the USA – Portland / Maine / Boston / New Hampshire etc.

In between eating his body weight in seafood he dropped into Lowells Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Lowells was established in 1793 (I’ll do the maths for you – that’s 230 yrs ago) and is the oldest operating boat shop in the USA. Google search the name to read / view the shops story. 

John was even press-ganged into helping turn a clinker that was being built.

Sure looks like a place I could spend sometime in – another addition to the bucket list.

(The birch bark canoe is on display at the – Portland Museum of Art)
