It was the last day of 2014: the 274-meter oil tanker “Princimar Truth” had already left the port, still escorted by two tugs, and a pilot boat was coming along
The two pilots on board had to climb down to their boat using a Jacob's ladder for the lower part of their descent.

Whew! Better stay in shape, if you're going to continue in that line of work.
They are so brave! I would never be able to do it.
That's quite a contrast in size!
Truly amazing.
oh i would be scared using that ladder on that huge boat!
Always amazed that such huge ships need help from the smallest. That's life.
Not an easy job, I suppose...
Great moment to capture VP.
Great captures!
What a job! Your photo really shows how big that ship is compared to the tugs...and how dangerous climbing down a Jacob's ladder could be - especially in rough seas!
Oh, the blue waters and blue skies!
I would have never imagined a captain having to use a Jacob's ladder to get back into his boat. The difference in scale is awesome, I'd be frightened to come this close to the big one!
Happy New Year from Vienna,

Fantastic second shot!
I have seen pilots climbing into and out of big ships. It is always a fascinating thing to watch.
A Jacob's ladder! I never heard this term; it's great!
And the pictures are so exciting.
