    Default Harbour Master History

    Hi folks
    I know this topic is a strange one but i am writing a 10k word essay on the Harbour Master certification and qualification past and present. I am struggling to find anywhere any information about the history of the Harbour Master role. I understand traditionally the Harbour Master was usually from sea and from master job but that is about it and only from working in a port.
    Can anyone provide any more info on this or any suggestions as to where to look for a bit more info on this topic? Google is proving useless on this occasion.

    Thanks in advance

    A.Nic

    I can't think of any internet sites that might help, but why not go to your nearest port/harbour and have a chat with the Harbour Master

    Ashley, Keiths suggestion seems the best bet, but if you get stuck I will try a old boy from the "Indefatigable" He is a member of the "Indefatigable Old Boys Assoc" and is the current Harbour Master on the Isle of Man. Good Luck.

    Just type "MCA harbour masters course" into Google and lots of information will come up such as
    https://www.ukhma.org/hm-certificate/
    Most harbour masters start off as pilots for the port and as such would most likely served at sea as ships captain.
