EVERY PORT has a “MASTER PILOT” who brings ships in & takes them back out...NOT the “CAPTAIN”.

The MASTER PILOT KNOWS every Rock/sand bar/tide shift/wind pattern.

There were two pilots aboard the ship…the Port Pilot and the Bay Pilot. Geographically, I don’t know where the Port Pilot’s jurisdiction ends and the Bay Pilot’s jurisdiction begins. On maps, the FSK bridge is shown as crossing over the Patapsco River. I’m not sure precisely where the river is considered to have ended and the bay begins.

So do you (or anyone else) have any idea of which pilot would have been in charge at the time of the accident?
