PILOT ON BOARD
For those who love our local maritime history the Pilot On Board book will be a great gift or a keepsake for your children and grandchildren. This hardcover coffee table book tells the story of Victoria’s Port Phillip Sea Pilot Service from its start in 1839, in the small coastal town of Queenscliff, in response to the wrecks and dangerous conditions for ships as they navigated the entrance to Port Phillip on their journey to Melbourne. The book was published to mark the 175th anniversary of the Port Phillip Sea Pilot Service.
