ObiQuiet Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 never underestimate the importance of a good harbor pilot ! Exactly. My question is "did the British know the true risk of going in without a pilot?" Did they know the bouys had been moved? If so, what drove them to engage anyway? Pym was found innocent in the post analysis, but I'd like to dig up more on the rationale of him and his captains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
