Pilot (boat)

The "Pilot" is a pilot boat launched in 1914 in San Diego. She served as the official pilot boat San Diego Bay for 82 years, with no more than three consecutive days of downtime. During World War II, she was used by the Coast Guard as a pilot boat and patrol boat, and decorated with six six-month service chevrons. She was donated to the Maritime Museum of San Diego in 1996 and underwent restoration. Afterwards, the "Pilot" hosted educational tours of San Diego Bay
