Head down to Point Shore this month to see a piece of history.
Last week, Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury launched the Mayflower Shallop II, an historical reproduction of the small rowing and sailing vessel the Pilgrims would have used to “discover” Plymouth Harbor in 1621.
The shallop will stay at the end of the LBS dock on the Merrimack River for about three weeks before traveling to Plymouth to join Mayflower II.
“The boat will remain here to finish the final work,” said Graham McKay, LBS executive director and master boat builder. “We launched it to take advantage of the astronomically high tides and I would expect to leave around the third week in May. It remains to be seen if we’re going to sail it down or it will go by truck. It’s a matter of insurance. Insurance companies are getting nervous about boats.” ....
