Re: Major Disaster In Baltimore
I bet they do. All they do is pilot that same short route. That's why harbors do this. The pilots are experts. The Association of Maryland Pilots was established in 1852. it's the oldest pilot association in the nation. A pilot takes boards the ships at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, inbound, and at Port to the mouth outbound. There was piloting even before the association was formed, with reference to bay pilots found in records dating back to 1640. Pilotage laws were established during the first session of Maryland's legislature in 1787. Pilots would board vessels and guide them to the dozen historic ports on the Chesapeake Bay
