Video How to Launch a Pilot Boat–Behind the Scenes at Point Hope Shipyard

In this video, I follow the float off of the Pacific Navigator, a hardworking pilot boat that serves the Port of Victoria and Ogden Point. We watch as the vessel is pulled along the marine railway, rotated on the turntable, and positioned onto the cradle.
