An Apprentice Speaks Out: What couldn't we say in our annual appeal letter?

Here's the best place to send real well wishes to Lowell's Boat Shop: https://lowellsboatshop.square.site/d...

Lots of people say they care about wooden boats, and wish there were more wooden boat builders. Lowell's does that: we have an apprentice program for participants completely supported by donations to the Boat Shop. This means kids of all walks of life are able to apply to and celebrate their acceptance into the program, confident that money won't be a barrier to them getting their hands on tools and very cool projects. They learn in the spectacular backdrop of a National Historic Landmark, and become a part of a greater community in shops and on the water.

To inquire about the Beetle Cat currently under restoration, and soon to be completed, please email Graham at [email protected].

A National Historic Landmark and working museum, Lowell’s is dedicated to preserving and perpetuating the art and craft of wooden boat building. In our boatbuilding and shop update videos, we're hoping to take you inside our living museum where we build new boats for clients, restore boats for other museums, and provide a space for events and on-the-water programs for all ages. Our museum is open for guided and self-guided tours. Visit http://lowellsboatshop.com/ to see how you can become a member, attend a program, or get involved in boatbuilding workshops.
