Pilot disembarking in POV

In early December, just as I was starting to get into ship spotting, I saw a couple of vessels headed up river towards Philly.

I was able to capture the Pilot coming to meet the vessel and CLIMBING the ladder to get on board just before she passed beneath the Walt Whitman Bridge.
