DORIES of St Pierre et Miquelon

[aukepalmhof]

This stamp issued by St Pierre et Miquelon shows us a painting, painted by Jaques Rohaut which shows us two dories hauled on the beach. She were pulled on the beach via the brown painted capstan on the right of the stamp. The painting has the title “les doris des zigotos”

At the end of the 19th century, the golden age of cod fishing, there were more than 500 traditional canoes in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon: the dories. Trawlers have now replaced these small wooden boats, but a few enthusiasts are re-engaging the legacy.

The rain is coming down in torrents today—or, as they say in France, il pleut des cordes. Gilles and Stéphane have just returned from 48 hours of fishing aboard the CAP PERCE. France.fr meets with them as the day gradually dawns, bathing the city of Saint-Pierre, plunged into the mist.
The maritime brothers are descendants of Acadians. They grew up here, in the archipelago, surrounded by sailors. When they were little, it was not uncommon for their mother to come to school: fishing couldn’t wait! They would promise the teacher to do their homework at home and set sail to go capelin fishing with the whole family, on board the dories

The dory is the traditional boat of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, a kind of cousin to the American pirogue. Commercial fishermen have since abandoned these boats for more modern ones. But in Saint-Pierre, a handful of determined mariners continue the tradition.
These devotees are called the Zigotos, after the association they founded over 30 years ago. When Gilles talks about it, his pride of the archipelago’s heritage burns in his eyes.

Sitting on the side, Robert contemplates the dories. Retired, he devotes part of his free time to the Zigotos. He no longer goes to sea: his pleasure is the workshop. The Zigotos are not content to float on the water in their boats—they're determined to perpetuate the tradition even in the manufacture of new dories.
There are several versions of the wooden boat, of different sizes, depending on the number of rowers, but all have a common difficulty: nothing is straight on a dory. Each board is curved, following the rounded lines of the boat.

The Aak to Zumbra a Dictionary of the World’s Watercraft gives on the dories.

“DORIES” The term now often applied to a hard-chined dinghy with flaring sides. Used aboard on yachts, small coasters and some fishing boats. Frequently equipped with an outboard motor.
