A steel pilot schooner is a type of vessel used for pilotage services, with its main function being to guide larger ships through difficult waters such as harbours, shoals, or narrow straits.
The term "steel" refers to the material from which the ship's hull is built, in this case steel. Steel is chosen for its strength, durability, and relatively light weight compared to other materials such as wood. "Pilot schooner" is a specific type of vessel traditionally used for transporting pilots to ships located further out at sea, so that the pilots could guide the ships into port or through dangerous waters.
Pilot schooners are often fast and agile, which is important in the often busy and dynamic environments where they operate. Over the years, they have often been modernised, using steel as a material instead of wood, which benefits the lifespan and performance of the vessels.
