My money is on it being a llifeboat too...did a google image search on "sailing lifeboats"...

 

[marksworld]

it may be but all the bits and bobs inside on the deck seem to be fishing related and if you look at the pic the mast set up seems difarent

I think it could well be a Foy boat, they used to be well known on the Tyne for carrying goods, provisions, and mooring lines to the bigger boats. It is very similar to the one in the Discovery Museum

my uncle was a Foyman at Blyth,now called Boatmen,his did'nt have sails btw

 

[Charlton]

some either had sails or the smaller ones where skulled (oared with a single oar at the back) they where usually painted Black.
