I never thought that way about Powers Booth.I agree; even today a person with the last name Booth fights that stygma.

Harvey Mudd College is one of the 25 new elite Ivey League Colleges.... or Mudd.
"Ivey League?"Harvey Mudd College is one of the 25 new elite Ivey League Colleges.
It is one of the colleges in the nation."Ivey League?"
I though it was one of the Claremont Colleges. Is that what they are calling them now?
I'm not interested in the name(s) of the pilot(s) it was not their fault.FBI opened a criminal investigation.
Meanwhile we still don't even have the name/names of the pilot/pilots on board.
Sometimes it's not a perfect world and there's nobody to blame, too.I'm not interested in the name(s) of the pilot(s) it was not their fault.
I'm interested in what went wrong and who down below (The engine room) is responsible.
And so is the FBI. They will very likely figure it out
The harbor pilots do not physically operate the ship. Instead, they direct the ships crew to operate the ship. Obviously, once power is lost there's nothing the harbor pilots or the crew can do to control the vessel.FBI opened a criminal investigation.

Crazy clockwise and crazy counterclockwise begins and ends at the same place.Actually about 180 degrees.
The harbor pilot is actually never in charge, the vessels master or senior officer is and he can override at anytime the harbor pilots instructions to the helm. Otherwise, the harbor pilot, has nothing to do with the internal operation of the vessel and has zero authority on board other than his limited authority in the navigation of the vessel.The harbor pilots do not physically operate the ship. Instead, they direct the ships crew to operate the ship. Obviously, once power is lost there's nothing the harbor pilots or the crew can do to control the vessel.
Here in Maryland, we found another victim/worker, and we still need to find two more.You need an EZ pass to cross the bridge. It had a FAIR rating the last time it was evaluated in 2022. Paying a fee to cross for FAIR upkeep is not going over very well today.
We haven't heard who is getting sued yet.
I am not sure what is taking so long.
The ship had indeed been under repair while in port. It was, in fact, delayed from scheduled departure due to the repairs being performed.Pilot has ultimate authority to decide if conditions are satisfactory to navigate the waterway. Weather conditions, ship conditions, crew condition, or any other thing they might find of concern. If the pilot says no go, it doesn't go.
There are reports the ship was having power problems while at the dock, loading.
Depends on where you start.Crazy clockwise and crazy counterclockwise begins and ends at the same place.
To the average Whacko, normal appears crazy.Depends on where you start.
That’s not even the case, not even close. The pilot has no way of knowing crew condition, engineering condition, ship condition, etc. They can refuse to pilot the vessel due to weather conditions, but other than that their duties are limited to advising the master on matters relating to safe navigation, speed, maneuvering into and out of the berth and control of the harbor tugs. The vessel’s master is in charge, always, the pilot is his advisor only.Pilot has ultimate authority to decide if conditions are satisfactory to navigate the waterway.

Not logically.From the perspective of any extreme the middle appears to be the other extreme.
As a career sailor, the engine room is seldom responsible for loss of power. Loss of power is usually attributed to malfunctioning equipment that cannot be made functional again in a limited amount of time.I'm not interested in the name(s) of the pilot(s) it was not their fault.

This is true. My uncle was Chief Harbor Pilot in San Diego for 30 years. Should the ship lose power there is nothing he can do about it until the crew fixes the issue.The harbor pilots do not physically operate the ship. Instead, they direct the ships crew to operate the ship. Obviously, once power is lost there's nothing the harbor pilots or the crew can do to control the vessel.
