MA Laws You Won’t Believe Actually Exist! It seems like every U.S. state has some outdated or downright weird laws that are surprisingly still on the books and Massachusetts is no exception. For example, did you know it’s illegal to put tomatoes in clam chowder? Or that it's illegal to give beer to a hospital patient unless it's prescribed by a doctor! This evening, with Bradley, listeners can try their hand at guessing which law exists!
Boston’s Pilot Boat Captains. What is a harbor pilot? A harbor pilot is a mariner responsible for the navigation and maneuvering of vessels, particularly in congested or challenging waters such as harbors, rivers, and canals. When a big container ship, cruise ship, or tanker comes into Boston Harbor, the law says that a licensed Boston Harbor pilot must guide the ship through the harbor. Somebody must get that pilot to the ship so they can bring it in or go pick the pilot up after they have gotten the ship out of the harbor. That's where the Boston Pilot boat captains come in. They deliver and retrieve the pilots. Captain Shawn Kelly of Boston Pilots will join Bradley to share the details of their high-risk life on the harbor.
