Dory (boat)
A dory is a small, shallow-draft (hull), draft boat, about long. It is usually a lightweight boat with high sides, a flat bottom and sharp bows. It is easy to build because of its simple lines. For centuries, the dory has been used as a traditional fishing boat, both in coastal waters and in the open sea. The term 'dory' is attested in 1700-10 in American English, and possibly derived from Miskito language, Miskito dóri or dúri, a canoe or small round-bottomed boat, chiefly used in Central America and the Caribbean. Definition Strictly speaking, the only true defining characteristic of the dory is that it is planked with wide straight boards running fore-and-aft; "It should be well understood, that it is the dory's special mode of construction, not its hull shape, that sets it, and its related sub-types apart from other boats".Gardner, page 15.

Dory Rips
The Dory Rips is a phenomenon involving extreme tide, tidal agitation of waters located in the Bay of Fundy off the headland of Cape d'Or in Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia, Canada. The phenomenon occurs at the entrance to the Minas Basin, which is known for the globe's highest tides. The turbulence does not result from a simple rip tide, but rather from the collision of three opposed tidal currents whose violence is enhanced by the presence of a subsurface reef that forces the water upward. The powerful incoming tidal current loops back and collides with itself while another current, coursing in semicircular fashion around Advocate Bay, slams into the collision point at a 90-degree angle. Marine Hazard To warn mariners away from the Dory Rips, a foghorn was placed at Cape d'Or in 1875 and a lighthouse, which is still operational, was established in 1922.
