Biographical/Historical note
Pilot boats are responsible for providing safe passage for shipping in and out of harbours. Newport Pilotage Authority, Newport, Monmouthshire, was constituted by the Bristol Channel Pilotage Act 1861. This removed responsibilty for Newport's pilotage from the control of Bristol (the ports of Cardiff and Gloucester were similarly affected by the Act). The Authority merged with the Cardiff and Barry Pilotage Authorities in 1974 to form South East Wales Pilotage Authority.
