Branch pilots at work

New York Harbor, 1899

One of America’s first motion pictures featured branch pilots at work in New York Harbor—sailing boats similar to those of Lanah Sawyer’s day.

"A close view of an eighty footer, schooner-rigged, trim as a private yacht, skimming over the waters of the harbor.... A steamer decked with bunting also passes by at close range."
