Many errors[edit]

This article is full of errors. For instance, a pilot cutter never went alongside a ship at sea. The pilot was transferred using the punt. (No, that is not the type of boat you find on the river at Cambridge.) Some decent references are needed, not stuff you can simply find on the internet.

Some work done on the article. Need to discuss the masts. Also performance - note that slow to windward, but comfortable hove to. Description of the accommodation might be good. Need to correct the reason for the demise - mostly the removal of competition by the pilotage authority. ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 20:49, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
