About us:

The Barque Picton Castle is a three-masted tall ship based in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada and best known for our adventurous international long distance sail training voyages. The Picton Castle is owned and operated by the Winward Isles Sailing Ship Company Ltd. Want to sail with us? visit us at www.picton-castle.com

The Dory Shop, we build dories. Day in, day out one after another! We have been building the iconic Grand Banks Dory and other traditional wooden rowboats for close to a century. We have added a few power tools but we are proud to say our boats are still hand-built using tried and true construction methods. We like it this way, it works and will continue to work as long as the sea has salt and the ocean has waves!
