Pilot boats

(by Heather Hernandez, Technical Services Librarian)

This week we're offering another instructive rhyme from Nautical Nursery Rhymes by Billy Ringbolt, which resides in the Peterson, Peter H. (Capt.) Papers, (SAFR 18665, HDC 571):


Pilot Boats

Pilot boats engaged at night
Must only have a masthead light
And sometimes "flare ups" they must show
Their whereabouts to let others know.
