One of the most important men on the seaboard is the Pilot. Pilots guide large boats and ships into port through dangerous coastal areas and become the most trusted associate of all mariners. Most live onshore, normally in or near a harbour area and work in conjunction with the harbour master and the masters of any ship coming into the harbour. Pilots are essential, because no ship's crew is going to have the necessary detailed knowledge of local tides, sandbanks, and hidden rocks for every port they will visit. It is the very fact that they are so trusted that makes some fall from grace and others become the victims of fraudsters. Many a Pilot has been 'set up' as a vessel has scuttled on the way into harbour, with the owner claiming it struck a sandbank. For these men, a new life as an adventurer is all that is left and many others fall deeper into a life of crime.
