Whitby

Folk Club

March 2010

HM Bark Endeavour

Coblers Monday, Whitby’s Sea Song and Shanty group

 was formed in 1996 by three stalwarts of Whitby

 Folk Club in readiness to perform sea songs and   

  shanties for the visit to Whitby of the replica

  HM Bark Endeavour in 1997.

 The group name Coblers Monday was derived from the

  custom of some Whitby  coble fishermen not to put to

 sea after a weekend's over indulgence.

  The practice of returning to the Towns hostelries for

  a reviving 'hair of the dog', was known locally as a

 'Coblers Monday'.
