Sea State: Developing the Blue Economy & Supporting Working Waterfronts

GMRI CEO Glenn Prickett speaks with Graham McKay, Executive Director of Lowell’s Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts, about the past, present, and future of working waterfronts. Together they explore how Lowell’s, the nation’s oldest continuously operating boat shop, has adapted over more than 230 years, and what its story reveals about the blue economy, maritime heritage, and coastal community resilience. Graham shares how cod fishing and wooden boatbuilding shaped Lowell’s Boat Shop, what it takes to keep a working waterfront going today, and how the shop has grown into a place for learning, craft, and community. The conversation highlights apprenticeships, shared stewardship, and the need to keep maritime work alive for the next generation.
