To be a Pilot

This book follows my life as a Liverpool marine pilot, how I first entered into the service, the hardships I had to deal with in order to progress in the trade, and finally the politics that my colleagues and I had to overcome in order to achieve self-employment. This book is meant to highlight the importance that marine pilots contribute to society, the dangers they face, the treatment they face by world governments, and options open to them in the future in order to fight for their independence.



This book is dedicated to all marine pilots around the world and for everything that they do.
