A Maritime pilot
A maritime pilot is a mariner who maneuvers ships through technical, congested, or dangerous waters. Maritime pilots are skilled professionals whose occupation has a history stretching back thousands of years. From Phoenician traders to Polynesian settlers, and from Portuguese explorers to modern naval captains; the art of pilotry is alive and well in this modern age.
