Stuart Wood - Memories of a Mersey River Pilot.

Stuart Wood was a River Mersey pilot for many years and tells us the fascinating and varied stories of his lifetime on the River. Pilots guide shipping in to and out of, the River Mersey shipping system from the Bar Light Ship which is some miles out in the Irish Sea, all the way into the River Mersey itself, the docks on both banks and the Manchester Ship Canal. Stuart is also the President of the Daniel Adamson Preservation Society.
