Art of Pilotage

No other book on navigation covers the business of pilotage with such depth & clarity. Comprehensively illustrated & including sample charts & pilotage plans, The Art of Pilotage covers planning the pilotage, making the landfall, reading signs in the water, fixing position by eye, dangers encountered inshore, clearing bearings & transits, entering harbor, blind pilotage in fog & even piloting without a chart. Other aspects of pilotage such as negotiating shipping lanes & avoiding lobster pots are also covered. Very useful appendices are included detailing signals, collision regulations, buoyages systems & port traffic control signals.Mellor, John is the author of 'Art of Pilotage' with ISBN 9780924486043 and ISBN 092448604X.
