@kaleb_sands worked hard making his pond yacht this week! Regatta was today. He loved learning about and using the traditional tools used by @lowellsboatshop — no surprise there! So grateful for such a wonderful experience. #luckykid

Well the Shallop is supposed to leave Thursday and sail to Gloucester. I’ll do my best to let you all know when and maybe you can get a good look at her sailing out of the river!

View out the window this afternoon.... I was once told that the best way to attract tourists was to stick a mast or two in the air... well we did that

Terry getting to know his dory
We are building sister banks dories for Terry and his friend Josh @oldpointmarine
They are both professional Mariners and intend to use their dories for fishing. These are the ideal customers, those that will enjoy the process and use the hell out of the boat. I promise to post pics of halibut coming over the rail of one of these dories.

Happy 100th birthday to the L.A. DUNTON!

On this day in 1921 it was launched at the A.D. Story yard in Essex, Massachusetts. The DUNTON is representative of the famous Gloucester schooners that fished the banks of the Western Atlantic for cod, haddock, halibut and other fish in all weather and in all conditions. Known for their speed and graceful hulls, these schooners also had a large carrying capacity and a tall, but simple rig. The DUNTON came off the drawing board of the famous naval architect Thomas McManus. (Photo courtesy of Dana Story, MSM 1964-2-26)

Our graduate apprentice Molly killing it up at Maine Maritime Academy!

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and we are celebrating!

⛵ Meet Molly MacInnis - A student in Marine Transportation Operations.

"I chose a STEM education because I grew up building and repairing wooden dories and skiffs; I value hands-on learning. My proudest STEM accomplishment is becoming the Schooner Crew's Second Mate aboard Bowdoin and being able to teach others terrestrial navigation."

This cold spell has done a great job forming up ice floes in the river ❄️❄️. Given the bend in the river in front of @lowellsboatshop they tend to jam up on their way out to sea. Shot with a Mavic 2 Pro

Instagram happy today I guess. I’ve always loved the way the shop looks as I turn out the lights at the end of the day... half lit, half in the shadows. It’s a pleasing sight to see it so full of boats... a little over ten years ago this place nearly got turned into condos if it weren’t for the money and effort of a handful of people who had a vision and couldn’t let that happen... you know who you are

Pretty lucky to get to work at this bench on a day like today. It really never gets old. If I had the new iPhone I’d have gotten a picture of the two eagles that just floated by on a bergie bit.

Our Apprentice Program in action
@mollym86 and @aaron_cross14
Both are in college and are home on winter/COVID vacation. They are former apprentices and we are employing them while they are home. The best part is... we are employing them because they are capable which is in part due to their apprenticeship and in part due to their maturity and experience in the wider world. This is what what we are all about and it makes us proud to have them back as it should make our supporters proud that this is the sign of a successful apprentice program. Thank you
