Historic Note:
In 1887 steamship pilots formed the American Brotherhood of Steamship Pilots. As the association began to grow and ship masters began to join the name of the union was changed to American Association of Masters and Pilots of Steam Vessels in 1891. Today, the association is known as the International Organization of Masters, Mates & Pilots and has almost 7,000 members. [De La Pedraja Tomán, René. A Historical Dictionary of the U. S.
