Abstract:

Every foreign vessel and every registered U.S. vessel of more than sixty tons entering and leaving a North Carolina port is required by law to use a state-licensed pilot. Any ship master violating this law is guilty of a Class I misdemeanor. Green discusses the history of pilots in North Carolina waters, pilot training, and current 'homeland security' duties.
