Quebec City, Quebec, Canada

the great clipper ships, many vessels headed for the Port of Quebec have run aground along the banks of the St. Lawrence or on its countless shoals. Stories of tragic shipwrecks abound, and no one knows how many seamen and passengers have lost their lives to the river. In the 17th century, it became apparent that trained river pilots were needed. In 1647, Abraham Martin became the first King’s Pilot authorized to guide ships up and down the St. Lawrence. Today, even though pilotage plays a crucial role in ensuring safe navigation and protecting the environment, few people know about river pilots or what they do. We invite you to discover this exciting profession through the history and the services provided by the Corporation of Lower St. Lawrence Pilots (Corporation des pilotes du Bas Saint-Laurent).

The Pilotage Act created four pilotage regions with specific authorities, thereby replacing a large number of local pilotage districts. The four Pilotage Authorities - Atlantic, Laurentian, Great Lakes and Pacific - are Crown corporations, responsible to Parliament through the Minister of Transport. The Great Lakes Pilotage Authority, Ltd. was established in February 1972 pursuant to the Pilotage Act, incorporated as a limited company in May 1972, and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Until October 1st, 1998, it operated under the name of Great Lakes Pilotage Authority, Ltd. Pursuant to the Marine Act, which received Royal Assent on June 11 1998, the name of the Authority was changed to Great Lakes Pilotage Authority and the Authority is deemed to have been established under subsection 3(1) of the Pilotage Act. The Authority is a Crown corporation listed in Schedule III, Part I of the Financial Administration Act.
