Popis:	The term marine pilot is applied to the man with local knowledge who acts as a guide to mariners in his own specific and limited district, but it is difficult to confine the work of a pilot to anything so specific. Over eight centuries Cinque Ports' pilots have conducted snipping from the Dungeness-Dover sector of the English Channel both into the Cinque Ports and into the ports of the Thames. They have also taken ships to the more northerly waters of the British Isles and were often asked to pilot ships along the European coast as far as the Baltic. They do this today and for the purposes of this paper they are pilots who work in a defined district but who are not necessarily confined to that district.
