For over 230 years, Lowell’s Boat Shop has perched over the Merrimack River in Massachusetts. It holds the distinction of being America's oldest continually operated wooden boat shop. Once an economic powerhouse, Lowell’s is now primarily a museum, National Historic Landmark, and vital hub for youth mentorship. Graham McKay, master boat builder, imparts the nuances of boat building to apprentices, reanimating a dying craft. He finds an uncommonly precocious pupil in William, a 16-year-old drawn to the water and the workshop.
