Isn't it comforting to know that these are the peeps that drive big assed container and cruise ships into and out of Boston Harbor?

Well technically the guy driving the pilot boat is just that. He delivers the real “pilot” to board the ship and take it through.

He delivers the pilot while in close proximity to the ship, matching its speed and maintaining proximity so the pilot can reach a ladder. Would you like to be the pilot who has to grab onto a rope ladder while the boat is pitching when this guy was driving?
