Lowell’s Boat Shop — Oldest Continuously Operated Boat Shop & Still Making Dories

Lowell’s Boat Shop is the oldest continuously operating boat shop in the United States and is recognized as the birthplace of the legendary Banks fishing dory. Here is a short video that looks at the history and the legacy of Lowell and his dories.
