1. Where does one find a good general history/reference for the pilot service?


"Beyond the Bar, A Light History of the Liverpool Pilot Service" by Barrie Youde.  GBP 12.95
ISBN 0 904825 34 5. Published by Laver publishing PO Box 7 Liverpool L19 9EN
http://www.laverpublishing.com (a very old fashioned site but all the info is in there)

List all pilots known to have served in the Service up to 2003. It also lists all the cutters and has a full description of the apprenticeship training of those men. It also has quite a few photographs of people and vessels and a few good (and bad) old tales.

Hope that helps.
