The Helmsman is the person steering the ship.
On US Navy ships you also have a lee helm which is in charge of the speed of the ship.
The Navigator is in charge of where the ship is going.
The Captain is overall in charge of the ship.

The "driver" of the ship is called the helmsman, or less formally, the skipper. The captain does not have to be steering all the time.

The person who steers the ship is the helmsman. The captain is right there. You would definitely call the captain, "Sir."

pick up your phone and dial the number to the phone that's the closest to where he's standing.
