Whether apprentices are between college and life careers, jobs and new directions, alcoholism and sobriety, or simply transitioning into retirement, The Boat Shop provides a safe harbor before setting sail on a new course in life.
For more than 90 years, The Dory Shop of Lunenburg has been building traditional Banks dories and other fine wooden craft for fishermen and recreational boaters alike. And though they’ve added a few power tools, they’re proud to say their boats are still built using traditional methods and materials.
