This very detailed view of the number 6 Liverpool pilot boat 'Pioneer' shows her at the mouth of the Mersey. She is towing a punt, which will take a pilot to the next incoming vessel.
'Pioneer' was built by Buckley Jones of Liverpool in 1852. She was the first schooner-rigged boat employed in the Liverpool pilot service.
On permanent loan from the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company.
