Amazing dory boats of Pacific City | Oregon Field Guide

The dory fishermen of Pacific City brave the surf that most people avoid, riding rough waves to get to waters that were heavily fished for generations. Today, these small flat bottomed boats are more often used for recreation than commercial fishing, but the dory boat tradition, which goes back several generations along the Oregon Coast, lives on. In this video from Oregon Field Guide’s archives, we visit the people who continued to face the powerful and threatening ocean in the early 21st Century, and look back on mid-20th century footage of dory boats from the past.
