cobble rosemary
at the risk of being shot down in flames... looks a lot more like a scaffie than a coble
Probably a Scarborough Mule Mark, there were a lot of these 5 man boats around the 20's ---50's for the herring fishing. I think another term for them was "ploshers". One of the local lads will clear this up for us.
Yes I think this would be a mule (though I'd have to see a photo of her out of the water to be sure), however I believe there is/was a local name for them in Scarborough which I can't recall. A plosher was another type of double ender that differed from a mule though I'm not sure in what way.
"sorry about naming her as a cobble but she is named as a cobble. ref Scarboroughs Maritime heritage centre. she looks like a double ender to me. another name for a double ender was a wop.but she may be two big to be awop? regards captain jim. 
A wop was a smaller double ender/mule I think, looks to big for that.
