Dory Fleet

The Dory Fleet refers to a group of traditional wooden boats called dories, traditionally used by fishermen, especially along the West Coast of the United States. These boats are known for their stability, durability, and ability to navigate in rough, coastal waters. Fishermen use the Dory Fleet to catch seafood like fish and crab, often operating from small ports or harbors. Over time, the fleet has become a symbol of maritime heritage, representing a connection to traditional fishing methods and coastal communities. Today, many Dory Fleet boats are preserved and celebrated as part of maritime history and culture.
