A dory is moored in a tidal river that has receded as it traveled out with the tide. It is not uncommon in New England for boats to rest on the mud during low tide; however, they often rise above into the water during high tide, and so they are often anchored. People would travel up and down the rivers often aided by the tides as it was easier to travel, and the coastal New Englanders learned how to use the tides to their advantage since they were both swift and deep.

From the collection of Fred Bodin of Gloucester MA. Fred was a long time resident and well-known photographer of Gloucester and had one of the best private collections of New England nautical photographs in private hands. Fred was a photojournalist having graduated with this degree from Syracuse University and worked for Yankee Magazine. Fred passed away in 2016 and HIP purchased his collection from his estate.
