The article presents the historical and legal study results concerning the specifics of heimath use by the pilots of the Grand Duchy of Finland. To do so, general scientific (dialectical, comparative, historical-genetic, structural-functional), as well as specific scientific (specific-sociological, formal-logical, historical-legal, comparative jurisprudence) methods are utilized. It has been established that a heimath as an additional financial guarantee for the well-being of pilots in the Grand Duchy of Finland came into the Finnish legislation from the Swedish tradition. Pilots, being personally free people, used this form of land tenure as civil servants or as private property. At the same time, differences in the rights of each individual heimath were revealed in terms of its importance, profitability, size, remoteness, as well as in terms of personal qualities and the pilot service position who received it.
The article states that the most well-known and long-standing traditions of the activity of pilots of Arkhangelsk were legislated during the reign of Peter I and were further developed in a series of various normative legal acts, the most important of which were the temporary rules for the Society of Arkhangelsk Pilots of 1886, adopted during the development of the regulations on sea pilots, approved by the tsar on May 1, 1890. The provisional Rules were a rather limited document in terms of influence and regulation, which no longer corresponded to the spirit of the development of legislation. However, its activities continued until the beginning of the twentieth century. Due to the difficulties associated with the practical implementation of the Regulations of 1890, as well as the decline in trade and shipping activity of the port of Arkhangelsk in the nineteenth century.
The article presents the material collected by the author related to the study of the legal organization of the Riga Pilot Shop from the XIII to the second half of the XIX centuries. It is indicated that the pilot shop that served the port of Riga was formed in the XVII century, shortly after the establishment of the post of Water Captain and the appearance of customs on the right bank of the Daugava River, opposite the Daugavgrivskaya fortress. According to the regulations, Bolderaya was defined as the place of residence of the pilots, who could change it only in exceptional cases. After the conclusion of the Peace of Nishtat (1721) and the entry of Riga into the Russian Empire, the activities of pilots of its port were regulated by such normative acts as the «Charter on Riga Commerce» of 1765, the decree of March 4, 1840 «On increasing the pilotage Fee in the Port of Riga», the charter of Riga pilots of 1854, which was valid until 1904, i.e. before the adoption of the new charter. The Charter of 1854 was much more detailed than previously issued regulations and charters and played a significant role in the development of rationing of pilots ‘ activities throughout the Russian Empire.
