Lowell's Boat Shop is a National Historic Landmark at 459 Main Street in Amesbury. Built in 1793 by Simeon Lowell, it continues to build dories and skiffs as a working boat shop and museum.
Within the boat shop’s buildings, located on the banks of the Merrimack River, remain such interesting historic features as ancient ship’s knees and heavily worn floorboards with two centuries of accumulated paint. The oldest buildings remaining on the site are combined Greek Revival structures that were built in the 1860s. Lowell’s Boat Shop is a rare existing example of an early American industry of the Merrimack River Valley.
