A little about Pilots by Alf COLLINS
- 100446.444@compuserve.comIn the UK a pilot usually had to serve an apprenticeship in the area he was to become a pilot. Trinity House Pilots were governed by Trinity House and that is a subject in its own right.
Each Pilotage area had a Board that regulated pilots and pilotage. A prospective pilot would have to submit his application to the Board and if lucky he would be given a licence to operate. In many cases particular families in an area would have successive generations of pilots with training handed down from father to son. In some cases I have encountered records of men who started as "Pilot's Boatman" and subsequently became pilots in their own right.
Your starting point is first to identify the port and then find out where the archives of the Pilotage Board are. For example the records for Newport, Monmouthshire (in South Wales) are held at the Gwent Record Office at Cwmbran. Initially pilots operated as single operators in competition with all other pilots in the same area. Later they organised to become Pilots Associations and they were regulated by a Trade Body called, as I can recall, The British Pilots Association ( I might need to check that title!)
Again quite a lot of information can be obtained from the records of the local Pilots Association. The records for Newport are held at the Gwent Record Office as an example.
I have several books on the subject including a research paper on Bristol Channel Pilots and the boats they used as well as the history of the British Pilots Association.
My father was a pilot living in Newport and served from 1906 to 1950.

The notes below were Kindly submitted to the Mariners Rootsweb List by Alfred Collins
These notes are intended to help anyone with an interest in pilots and pilotage to understand the historical development in the UK and to provide some indication of how to research the field.
The notes are grouped under four main headings:-
1. Trinity House: history, role and development.
2. 18th and 19th century piloting.
3. Developments in the 20th century.
4. Possible sources and bibliography
1. Early British Pilots and Trinity House:
Early pilots were known as Lodesman or Lotesman (German word linked to Lodesone the early compass). The name "pilot" derives from the Dutch "Pijl" = vertically straight and "Leod" = plumb lead used for measuring depth.
Pilots came into being in the earliest times of maritime trade principally to provide ships with safe passage into harbours or through dangerous waters. As a consequence pilots were usually experienced mariners with particular knowledge of the local waters where they plied their trade.
The Laws of Oleron (the underlying laws forming the basis of maritime law) exacted severe penalties on any pilot who lost a ship in his care. He was beheaded at the windlass by the crew who were free of any penalty. In England in the 13th century a pilot could be hanged for losing a ship.
In the 16th century Henry VIII appointed Sebastian Cabot as Grand Pilot of England. The Cabots operated out of Bristol and one of the earliest pilots of the area, George Ray, formerly a barge master, went with John Cabot on his voyage of discovery in 1497.
During the early 16th century pilotage on the Thames became a problem. A significant number of young inexperienced mariners claiming to be pilots put life and trade at risk. As a result Henry VIII granted a charter to the already existing Trinity House, London to ensure the safe regulation of shipping on the River Thames on 20 May 1514. Prior to that Trinity House had been an Association of Shipmen and Mariners of a semi-religious character and with benevolent objectives.
The Corporation of Trinity House has had three main functions:-
1. General Lighthouse Authority for England, Wales, the Channel Islands & Gibraltar:
It was responsible for providing lighthouses, light vessels, buoys and beacons. Up to 1836, however, it did not have the monopoly of erecting lighthouses. Light dues were collected from all ships entering or leaving ports and were (and still are) collected by HM Customs. Freelance providers of lighthouses and Trinity House were paid out of this revenue. Trinity House bought out all privately owned lighthouses by 1841.
2. Principal Pilotage Authority for London and 40 other "outports". This role ceased after the introduction of the Pilotage Act of 1987.The Corporation had general powers to regulate pilotage on the Thames from 1514 and exclusive licensing of pilots there from 1604. The system of "outports" started in 1808 and separate records for examination and licensing of pilots began in 1808.
Pilots were not employed by Trinity House but were self employed. Trinity House’s services in this field were financed by a levy on pilots’ earnings both by dues paid by ships and the licensing process. A Trinity House
pilot’s licence was renewed annually at which time his eyesight, general health and knowledge of local waters were tested.
Trinity House is still the licensing authority for deep sea pilots for the UK.
3. Charitable relief of mariners and their dependants in distress. A mariner or his dependants anywhere in the UK could petition Trinity House for relief regardless of whether he had had previous association with Trinity House.
The business of Trinity House is supervised by the Board of ten Elder Brethren who are elected for life from a pool of around 300 Younger Brethren who are primarily Merchant Navy captains together with a few Royal Navy officers.
