With Skinningrove currently attracting attention, it is worthwhile mentioning another former small port just a little further down the coast nearer to Whitby at Port Mulgrave.

A brief history is at: http://www.ports.org.uk/port.asp?id=18
and an intriguing historical view at: http://www.nmrs.org.uk/mines/iron/cleve ... grave.html

An historical link with Palmers of Jarrow is detailed at:

and also gives the names of several tugs that worked out of the harbour.
