You are probably thinking of the word "helmsman", who is in charge of steering the ship under the direction of the navigator or other senior officer.
A ships' pilot is a skilled navigator, who knows the hazards and currents in an area of confined water (such as a harbour), who comes aborad a ship to help it traverse the hazardous area.
