Bar Pilots All those massive containers,
cargo ships and cruise-liners you see in the San Francisco Bay have
to be navigated with precision to get into port. It's a dangerous
job, and the elite group of people who do this are called Bar Pilots. They work in the Bay Area and

disaster in Italy shows what can happen if safety is ignored.

complicated, lab-oriented environment without the use of sight.
