Pulling boats developed in the 1820s near Whitehall Street, New York City, and used originally in large harbors as workboats by chandlers, pilots, shipping agents, and other businesses, and later for recreation; usually 14 to 22 feet long with one to five rowers sometimes with pail and centerboard, and distinguished by a plumb stem and wine glass-shaped stern.
