Lowell's Boat Shop (Hiram Lowell & Sons) is a National Historic Landmark at 459 Main Street in Amesbury, Massachusetts. The shop was built in 1793 by Simeon Lowell. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
Located on the banks of the Merrimack River, Lowell’s Boat Shop is considered to be the birthplace of the legendary New England fishing dory, originated by Simeon Lowell. An historian remarked, "A Lowell's dory to a fisherman was like a hammer to a carpenter".
Today, Lowell's Boat Shop is a working boat shop and living museum. The shop continues to build dories and skiffs in the tradition of the seven generations of the Lowell family.
