 The
Art of Pilotage by John Mellor
Comprehensively illustrated, and including sample charts and pilotage plans, the book
covers planning the pilotage, making the landfall, reading signs in the water, fixing
position by eye, dangers encountered inshore, clearing bearings and transits, entering
harbor, blind pilotage in fog and even pilotage without a chart. Other aspects of pilotage
such as negotiating shipping lanes, avoiding lobster pots, etc. are also covered. Very
useful appendices are included detailing signals, collision regulations, buoyage systems
and even port traffic control signals. No other book on navigation covers the business of
pilotage with such depth and clarity.
