A man who operates or works on a dory, a small flat-bottomed fishing boat used in maritime work.
From 'dory' (a type of small boat, from Greek 'dory' meaning spear, due to its pointed shape) + '-man' (Old English suffix for a male person engaged in a particular activity).
Dorymen are part of a specific maritime tradition—in places like New England and Atlantic Canada, dories became the iconic small fishing boat because they could be stacked on ship decks and quickly launched into rough seas.
