Description
The Department of Marine and Harbours and their predecessors Harbour and Light Department (since 1880) had traditionally employed and deployed Harbour Masters to Western Australian ports.
This responsibility was passed to the individual port authorities, together with the ownership and operation of pilot launches and associated crew. Incumbent Harbour Master Chris Shuttleworth became the first employed by the Port Authority. The Pilot Boat ‘George Vancouver’ was likewise transferred to the Albany Port Authority.
