Young love framed in time
Through the frost, spring emerges
Last of the summer surf..

The Pilot
Modern pilot boats can be from 7 metres to over 25 metres in length, built to withstand heavy seas and bumping against 100,000 ton tanker ships, they are high powered and hence both very quick and durable, purpose built boats. They are normally painted a highly visible colour such as orange, red or yellow.
The work functions of the maritime pilot go back to Ancient Greece and Roman times, when locally experienced harbour captains, mainly local fishermen, were employed by incoming ships captains to safely bring into port their trading vessels. Eventually, in light of the need to regulate the act of pilotage and ensure pilots had adequate insurance, the harbours themselves licensed pilots for each harbour.

ON1004 / 44.005"Margaret Graham" Served at Harwich 1967 - 1980, then spent six years in the relief fleet before going to Amble in 1986. She left there in 1999 and was sold out of Service to Whitby Harbour as their 'new' Pilot boat.
The Whitby Lifeboat station had had a Waveney "White Rose of Yorkshire" (1974 to 1988) which impressed people locally with her behaviour in some very poor sea conditions.
