Normas Boy

Unknown coble at Alnmouth



    Hi Dave

    On first glimpse it appears she has a very 'modern' wheelhouse  :)

    Regards

    This coble was called the normas boy when she was at alnmouth, she was used for pleasure by two miners from ashington.
    As far as i know she was built for newbiggin for the salt family and called the guiding light.
    She left alnmouth on a low loader and went to sunderland to be done up, she was in a bit of a state by the time she left she had lain on the banks for a few years
    Bonny  looking coble but a good age I fancy, she has the wooden thowle pins in the gunnel for the oars.
    I remember my Dad's coble Enterprise WY.47 having them and she was built in 1947
