The self proclaimed “best Grand Banks dory rower in the world,” James “Jimmy T” Tarantino is a Gloucester native who has worked tirelessly to sustain and promote dories and dory rowing as vital aspects of the city’s culture for decades. In this video, shot in 2011, Jimmy talks about what has made the bond between “dory mates” so deep and meaningful throughout the history of the city.
This video represents a partnership between Fathom Productions (Matt Bradley, Keith Palazolla, Sal Zerilli) and the Gloucester400+ Stories Project. The Fathom team has conducted interviews and fieldwork to document the local culture of dories in the city.
