A Blast from the Past: Navigating Brisbane Waters in the 1930s Dive into Queensland's maritime history with this vintage pilotage exemption questionnaire from 1930. Shared by Captain Peter Murday, a descendant of a proud Queensland pilot, this artifact offers a glimpse into the rigorous standards and extensive knowledge required by mariners of the past. How has navigation evolved since then? Has technology simplified the process, or has the increased complexity of regulations and safety standards made it even more challenging? Let's discuss!
