Geno Mondello’s Dory Shop-The Knees Of The Dory
Inside the dory the knees are placed as a frame. It is interesting to note as Geno told me in the first part of our video interview that the knees are made from the tree trunk. The tree trunk has a natural bend when it enters the earth which lends strength to where the curve is going to be on the inside of the boat.

Geno Mondello’s Dory Shop
Here’s Geno working away in the Dory shop. I wonder if he considers it work when you do something you obviously love. I’ll have to ask him next time I see him.
Look for the first part of our interview today at 2:00PM

Geno Mondello’s Dory Shop
I stopped by Geno’s Dory Shop at The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center yesterday. Geno is currently working on a 17 foot hand line dory which will be auctioned off to benefit the Gloucester International Dory Race Organization. The money raised through the raffle will be used to build more dorys. Last year there were four dories and by the end of this year there will be eight. The sport is just taking off thanks to the likes of Jimmy Tarantino, Glen Harrington, Katherine Richmond, Skip Levielle, and Kirk Dombrowski along with many other volunteers..
Look for my three part video series with Geno starting tomorrow which talks about the origins of dory racing, different types of dorys and how they are built and other surprises.

From now on I’m calling the Maritime Heritage Center the GMHC.
Anyway I have a series of photos I took from Geno’s Dory Shop over at GMHC that I’ll be posting throughout the day.
I’ve seen a ton of old photographs of the flakeyards in Gloucester but could never distinguish one from our dock in East Gloucester until I stopped by and saw Geno. He happened to have one among the sawdust and I was blown away at the size and scope of the buildings that once sat on our property. The buildings were 3 stories high and lined East Main Street and went out over the water. My father often tells me stories about when my grandfather bought the place from Gortons and they handed him a huge round key chain with a ridiculous number of keys that lined up side by side touching each other all the way around this key ring like spokes on a bike only like it was about 200 keys for all the different rooms with locks.
Geno is going to make me a copy of the picture. Thanks Geno.
Good Morning Gloucester
