For all the wannabe river boat pilots!
That’s a towboat . The pilots’s everyone bitches about advise ship captains how to get up and down the river. They are on the bridge but only give directions. The helmsman steers per Captains orders who follow the River Pilot’s advice.
Towboats have captain’s and a crew. No pilots. Captains come up from deckhands.
Pilots are born into it. For the most part.

What about pay? Do rowboat captains make anything like river boat pilots?
