In Yorkshire such boats were in use along the coast and inland waterways but there is evidence later that they were capable of sea-crossings. 1575 <i>John Adams for refusing to pay primage on a voyage from Hamburgh in Christopher Wormeley’s pink</i>, Hull (YRS116/64); 1639 <i>complained of Henry Appleton for hiring Henry Hodgson whom </i>[Mr]<i> Crew had first shipped too go in his pink</i>, Hull (YRS105/39).
