A dory lies still on its mooring in front of the Southend Yacht Club in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Taken from Peirce Island, the brilliant yellow of the building and the vibrant topside of the dory is reflected in the waters of the harbor.
A dory boat is characterized by its shallow-draft, high sides, flat bottom (often with a slight rocker-shape), and sharp bows. An easy design to build, it’s capable of carrying a heavy load, hence it’s popularity with fishermen.
Part of my portfolio of photographs, this image uses an artistic software filter to impart a painterly appearance; prints are available from my Pixels shop.
