I have just looked again at the 1788 Centurion Muster Roll of Trinity House, Hull, England (photo seen numerous times) naming John Hood, Master, Selby, Hull, which says adjacent John Hood aid Cap'n Prince (this John Hood is one of several possible fathers for a mystery George Hood of Selby ancestor), so typed "aid " bottom left of my pc search bar and up came a newspaper image and other bits I had already saved and titled about a vessel called Aid and James Prince of Selby (late of Scarborough), England.
John Hood was not getting aid from Capt Prince, nor from Trinity House, Hull in 1788, but his former ship he was a crew member of, was called Aid. The Captain of Aid was James Prince, who incidentally was buried at Selby too.
We will follow this up and see what was recorded about John Hood and his abode etc., on the vessel Aid around part of the Birth time period of my ancestor George Hood.

Also noted the Industry vessel of John Dean of Gainsbro' was a SLOOP type vessel at Hull, when Joseph Dean of Gainsborough, England offered the Sloop Industry for sale (with other vessels and property) in 1788, after the death of John Dean (reported in the newspaper 21 st December 1787).
----------
Whereas the Industry vessel (in the Muster Rolls at Hull 1781 to 1786) of John Hood, Master, Birth Scarborough, Abode Selby, was a BRIG (this Brig previously linked to John Jefferson). In June 1787 Edward Firminger was Master sailing to Bordeaux from Leeds and Agents were Haworth & Bateman of Hull, reported in the Manchester Mercury 26th June 1787. Another newspaper gives a little more detail about Agents as B. B. Haworth and John Bateman. Industry (of Edward Firminger) had just had an overhaul according to abbreviations in Lloyds Register.
I have added information about Edward Firminger and John Firminger because there seems to be nothing online in the Registers about them in these areas and might be useful for researchers to find other documentation in Archives.
The Hull Payments Book at Hull does say Industry John Hood, Jefferson for most of the 1780s and in 1792 it says "See Foreign Vessels, Jno Firminger". Interesting as a John Firminger of the vessel Industry is also linked to Chester, England (newspapers 1791).
