Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history, politics, and controversies that impacted the 1837 United States federal law allowing competition between the pilots of New York and New Jersey. New York pilots, until 1837, were accused of being inefficient, lazy, even drunk, while New Jersey pilots who were allowed to operate in New York waters after 1837 were praised. Using contemporary documents and other historical data, the author provides background to the New York and New Jersey pilot laws and discusses the arguments on both sides. He also provides ample evidence to support the position that the 1837 law had the positive results that proponents had predicted. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of maintaining a competitive pilot system to ensure the efficiency and safety of shipping in the waters of New York City.
