Captain Carolyn Kurtz became the first ever female pilot in state of Florida in 1995. Her lifelong passion for ships took her to the United States Merchant Marine Academy, and then a job as an officer on a commercial ship, before becoming a maritime pilot out of the Port of Tampa. Capt. Kurtz is still piloting and serves on the National Navigation Safety Advisory Committee to the United States Coast Guard.
