Springflower - Yorkshire Coble - a photo on Flickriver

            North Landing Flamborough Head.

Wednesday Walk.

The Yorkshire fishing coble has been made in the old-fashioned way. It's the only way for vessels of this sort constructed without any straight lines, a design so perfect it has remained much the same since the time of the Viking longships.
Larch planks are steamed and bent to the sturdy oak frame and copper nails are driven in to hold things tight. It's fascinating to watch the process.
The distinctive shape of the boat — flat-bottomed and high-bowed — arose to cope with the particular conditions prevalent in this area. Flat bottoms allowed launching from and landing upon shallow, sandy beaches; an advantage in this part of the coast where the wide bays and inlets provided little shelter from stormy weather. However, fishermen required high bows to sail in the dangerous North Sea and in particular to launch into the surf and to land on the beaches. The design contains relics of Norse influence, though in the main it shows Dutch origin.
