In Memory of
Mrs. Anna Lowell
wife of
Mr. Simeon Lowell
who died
Jany 29, 1789
Aged 39 Years
When God commands tho' friends repine
Your life like me you must reƒign.

 

Simeon Lowell opened a boat building shop in 1793 on Salisbury Point. It continues to operate today as the oldest boat building shop in the nation.

Lowell's Boat Shop Trust is now a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about a traditional American craft by preserving America’s oldest boatbuilding activity in its original workshop, the birthplace of the fisherman’s dory.

History has it that Simeon Lowell invented, if not perfected the fisherman's dory.
