History of the Sea Bright Dory Lifeboat
{{code type="readmore" label="Read More"}}
The Sea Bright Dory Lifeboat originated along the New Jersey coast in the mid nineteenth century as a fishing boat that was safe for use in rough surf. Capturing the romance and craftsmanship of a dying breed of wooden boat builders, these boats can be found today serving as life-gaurd and utility boats in beaches from Maine to Florida.
