Lowell Grand Banks Dory

Kit by Model Shipways

Grand Banks dories were flat-bottomed fishing boats developed on the North American east coast in the 1800s, and their removable thwarts let schooners carry them nested in stacks on deck.

The 1:24 kit is a small wooden model of a Lowell-built dory. It is Skill Level I of the Model Shipways Shipwright learning series and is meant as a first build.
