The Maryland Pilots have guided ships to and from Baltimore since the 1700's. They have been chartered as an organization since 1852.

Thijs will take us through the 'how' of becoming a maritime pilot, offering a detailed look at the educational pathways, skills, and work-life balance that come with the role.
