I know almost nothing about it, but don't ships have to hire local pilots to navigate harbors, due to the local knowledge and complexity?

- frankharv 8y agoThat dude is linehandling with a tie and white shirt. HAHAHA. Fake new site so it doesn't surprise me. I deal with the new sailors who come out of these maritime institutes. There is no substitute for OJT. Can you imagine getting the tie pulled into the wildcat. Youch. That has to be a OSHA no-no. Dopey picture. Like $70K fine in my world.
