San Francisco Bar Pilots<\/a> were presented with a resolution from the California legislature commemorating the organization’s 175th anniversary. On April 22, 1850, during the first legislative session of the new State of California, elected officials passed laws to create the first state-licensed Bar Pilots. Since then, the Bar Pilots have continuously served the State of California and its residents by providing critical navigation services to commercial vessels in the San Francisco Bay and its tributaries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cFor 175 years, the Bar Pilots have been hard at work to ensure that the San Francisco Bay continues to be a robust trade hub and a model for environmental sustainability,\u201d said Sen. Timothy Grayson, Sen. Jesse Arregu\u00edn, and Sen. Scott Wiener in a joint statement. \u201cWe look forward to supporting the Bar Pilots as they oversee the San Francisco Bay and its waterways for another 175 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
While the work of the San Francisco Bar Pilots has evolved over the past 175 years, some things remain the same: the Pilots still board vessels 11 miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge via a traditional rope ladder. And, most importantly, their core mission still stands true: protecting the public, environment, and regional economy through the safe and efficient navigation of vessels.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur ports are a major economic driver in the Bay Area and the greater State of California, and these ports cannot function without the crucial work of the San Francisco Bar Pilots,\u201d said Asm. Diane Papan and Asm. Lori Wilson, authors of the Assembly\u2019s member resolution. \u201cWe are proud to recognize the rich history of the organization and the importance of pilotage service in the San Francisco Bay and beyond on such a special day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, there are almost 50 state-regulated pilot associations across the country that keep America\u2019s economy moving. The San Francisco Bar Pilots are a critical component of the Bay Area’s supply chain and are proud to be a part of the network of piloting professionals that are dedicated to safety, service, protection of the environment, and growth of the economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an incredible honor to celebrate the Bar Pilots\u2019 175 years of service to the State of California today,\u201d said Capt. John Carlier, President of the San Francisco Bar Pilots. \u201cThis milestone would not be possible without the scores of pilots who, for the last 175 years, have made it their life\u2019s work to protect the San Francisco Bay through the safe navigation of the many vessels that call our ports.\u201d<\/p>\n
