	Coble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This style of boat is traditionally used on the North East coast of England, from southern-most examples found around Hull, to Berwick-upon-Tweed on the Scottish border.
		Cobles were clinker-built locally, where needed, without the use of plans.
		Today, surviving cobles are generally powered by diesel engines, removing the need for the distinctively shaped 'lug' sail.

		The coble is constructed with a flat bottom so that it can be beached for safety on these flat, open beaches, but it also has a high bow (the forward part of the ship) which allows it to cope with the deep and dangerous seas of the North East coast.
		A coble was launched from the beach by pushing it, bow first into the surf and rowing it into quieter waters before stepping (raising) the mast, setting the rudder and raising the sail.
		Although the larger cobles and mules were used to fish for herring, during the late 19th century, larger keelboats were used which travelled further in search of their catch.

		The cobles were painted a variety of colours, the usual combinations being blue and white, blue and green or pink, and fl and white.
		The coble would then be towed stern-first and the deep bow acted as a fixed rudder and prevented the coble yawing behind the towing vessel.
		Towing a coble bow-first, when the rudder is damaged or missing, is an invitation for trouble, since the fore-foot then acts as a rudder and will flip the coble over quite quickly.

	Cobles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The coble's main features are those of a deep forefoot and a flat bottom towards the stern.
		These characteristics enable the coble to be launched off broad beaches of low gradient into breaking seas, and to be retrieved still facing the breakers, i.e.
		In modern times cobles have adapted particularly well to motorisation and, although few are built these days, there are still some fishing for the declining fish stocks.

		The loss of life from fishing fishing cobles on the North East coast was tremendous and most of the fishing communities had suffered the loss of some or all of their male family members.
		However, after the cobles left the bay that morning storm clouds appeared on the horizon and the strong signs of very bad weather in the near future were observed by many on both land and sea.
		The cobles at sea hoisted their short sails (which were used for bad weather) and started to make their way back to the shore.

		The lack of single keel (the double keels of the coble are called drafts or skorvels and are "like two deep sledge runners which point for and aft" p.10), the lack of horizontal ribs and the need for thwarts (or tofts) to brace the structure are also indicative.
		Although the first possible description of a coble does not appear until the 16th century, this does not mean that the coble form was not developed earlier than that: evidence on all types of medieval shipping is extremely scarce.
		In terms of construction and name, the coble could indeed be a descendant of one of the earliest forms of boat in the British Isles, preserved and developed because of its usefulness in local conditions.

		A coble approaches stern first, and the fishermen jump waist deep into the the water to steady the craft whilst the tractor pushes the wheels through the waves.
		A sixth boat came under the protection of the society, whose aim is to promote the preservation and appreciation of the Filey Coble, and to educate about it's history and importance to the community and other Filey visitors.
		The key objective is to maintain a coble in seaworthy condition and that the 'Margaret' be restored to full working order.

	Mast & Sail in Europe & Asia: Chapter 6
		The coble is one of the most distinctive types of craft to be found perhaps in Europe or Asia.
		At such times the short mast is set, and the coble is seen to her best advantage; she is sailed by the sheet, and never luffs to the stiffest puffs.
		The coble seems to have followed the fate of nearly all the most distinctive types of boats in its increase of size.

		The Filey coble Margaret, originally built in 1973 and was the second largest type of coble for Filey.
		The coble was named after Margaret Jennings after the boat was bought by her brother James Wyvill, more than 20 years ago.
		After her workers stripped the hull, cleaned the inside, soaked the boat in preservatives and installed a new engine, the first coats of the new turquoise were applied to the Margaret.

	Building a Northumbrian Coble
		One of the pram designs seemed to be the simplest to build, but I preferred a rounder hull - perhaps harking back to the Heron we had when I learned to sail as a kid.
		The prompt, courteous replies from Paul regarding changes of the rig on a Coble, and the existence of a Yahoo Groups forum for Selway Fisher sailors and builders, reinforced my decision to go with one of his designs.
		Cobles were used for fishing and foying (tending shipping) in the rugged conditions of the English NE coast and North Sea.

		If one more coble is forced to leave Filey, then for economic reasons the tractor driver will be redundant and all the remaining cobles will have to leave.
		There will then be no coble on the Coble Landing after at least a thousand years of use of this type of vessel.

	Port Cities: Ships and shipping - Hartlepool pilots
		The pilots’ boats were called “cobles”, and were similar to those used by the local fishermen.
		The coble is a kind of boat which is only found on the north east coast of England, and is still used as a fishing boat today.
		Hartlepool-built cobles were 27 to 28 feet (around 8.5m) long, 5 to 6 feet (1.5m) across, and about 2.5 to 3 feet (1m) deep.

		A descendant of the Stewart family married a descendant of the Cobles in Alamance County, and the Blanchard Cobles descend from that line as did Ethel Murrow, the mother of Egbert R. "Edward" Murrow.
		[Tillie] Coble was born in 1897, the same year that Ed Pelton, the leader of colony came to Blanchard to build the ideal community to change the state of Washington into a giant cooperative.

	Cobles of the East Coast
		At that time the Coble Landing was home to perhaps twenty cobles, each with the distinctive deep forefoot, running off to sledge like lines aft and a transom stern on which was mounted a deep slim rudder.
		The modern cobles often have a small wheelhouse forward, perhaps a half deck to shelter the engine, and gantries to support line haulers; both possible because there is now no sailing gear.
		Like the Filey boats, these Bridlington cobles had no keel, and were held up to the sea by very deep rudders, which could be unshipped in harbour, or on the beach, and used as gangplanks.

	Cobbles
		The fisherman in the period of time we are studying would have owned a wooden Coble, very much like the ones you see in the pictures below.
		The Coble has a flat bottom to it, which makes it easier to launch from the Wayfoot and means that it can float in very shallow water, which is the case on the wave cut platform we find at Robin Hoods Bay.
		The Coble is powered by oars, which the fishermen use to row the boat.

	Chemical environmental control - coal combustion in boilers
		For example if the total amount of ash is only say 10% of the amount of total coal "cobles" burned, then the total ash only contains 3% of the total heat input to the boiler.

		During the 19th century Newbiggin's fishing industry went from strength to strength.
		In 1626 there had been 16 fishermen working four cobles (fishing boats) out of Newbiggin, by 1831 there were almost 30 boats and in 1869 over 140.
		Life for the fishing families was hard and all the family would be involved: mending the nets and lines, collecting bait, baiting the hooks on the lines, hauling the boats by hand over the beach and cleaning and selling the fish.
