Gloucester, Massachusetts and Lunenburg Dory Races
On Saturday, July 13th, competitors from sister cities
Gloucester, Massachusetts and Lunenburg, Nova Scotia boarded dories and raced
on a course in Gloucester Harbor as they have for the past 72 years.
This friendly competition, rooted in the proud fishing
legacy of both ports, features strength, athleticism, strategy, and teamwork.
Most importantly, it showcases the enduring international
bond between these two communities that has grown stronger over the years and
continues to bring people from many generations together as a shining example
of the type of friendship and partnership our world needs.
Thanks to the Gloucester International Dory Racing Committee
and the Lunenburg Canadian Dory Racing Association for the dedication and hard
work it takes to keep this tradition alive.
The competition next moves to Lunenburg Harbor on August
24th.
