What does COBLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Britishregionalnautical
A small, flat-bottomed fishing boat traditionally used along the coasts of northeast England and southeast Scotland.
A coble is built with a high bow, a flat stern and a shallow draft, a design that lets it launch directly from open beaches rather than needing a harbour. Fishermen in towns such as Whitby and Filey have used the coble for generations to work close inshore waters for crab, lobster and herring. The design likely developed from Norse boatbuilding traditions carried along the North Sea coast.
