This event lies in the past.
The American Pilots’ Association (APA), one of the country’s oldest trade associations, has been the national association for the piloting profession since 1884. Virtually all of the more than 1,200 State-licensed pilots working in the 24 U.S. coastal States, as well as all of the U.S.-registered pilots operating in the Great Lakes system, belong to APA-member pilot groups.

Video Day in the life of a Marine Pilot on the Humber, UK
published on 7 November 2025
Brief snapshot of a day in the life of a Humber marine Pilot.
This was filmed a few years ago, 2019 I think.
Some standards and best practices have changed since then, for instance I would not have my bag on my back while using the pilot ladder now, I would send it down using a heaving line.
