Pilot
Pilot, a person taken on board at any particular place for the purpose of conducting a ship through a river, road, or channel, or from or into a port, defined in s. 742 of the (English) Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, as meaning 'any person not belonging to a ship who has the conduct thereof.' Pilots are established in various parts of the country, by ancient charters of incorporation or by particular statutes. The most important of these in-corporations are those of the Trinity House, Deptford Stroned; the fellowship of the Pilots of Dover, Deal, and the Isle of Thanet, commonly called the Cinque Port Pilots; and the Trinity Houses of Hull and New castle.
