Still used regularly at Tynemouth. I've got lots of photos of them guiding the larger vessels in through the mouth of the Tyne and down to the terminal.  It's fascinating just watching them.

Still used at Blyth too, because of all the rocks around the harbour entrance.

Don't know what they did about the Tall Ships yesterday, though, I don't think they've got that many pilots  :)
