Dory

Woman's first name

A dory is a small, flat-bottomed fishing boat with high, flaring sides and a sharp bow—designed for stability in rough water and easy launching from beaches.

Dories were workhorses of the North Atlantic cod fisheries, often stacked on larger vessels and deployed for line fishing.

The fisherman rowed his dory through the fog.
