Pilot 72, the boat bringing the pilot aboard
The pilot and ship’s officers work in a cooperative effort to bring the ship into port or to take her out to sea – the pilot has the local knowledge of the port, the captain and ship’s officer know the ship and how she handles
– it is usually up to the individuals involved to decide who will control the ship and give orders to the helmsman; sometimes the pilot makes suggestions and sometimes he actually gives orders
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
