In memory of Mrs. Anna Lowell Consort of Mr. Simeon Lowell who departed this life November 4, A.D. 1819 in the 67th year of her age. There is a ??? of pure delight, Where friends once parted shall unite |
Mr. Simeon Lowell died Aug. 26, 1830 Æt. 85. He shall return no more to his house, Neither shall his place know him any more. |
Simeon's other wife, also named Anna Lowell, rests in Union Cemetery.
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.
