Conn

The officer of the deck has the conn of the vessel; the captain took the conn when he reached the bridge.

The pilot conned the ship safely into the harbor.

“Ay,” says I, “you’ll allow me to steer, that is, hold the helm, but you’ll conn the ship, as they call it; that is, as at sea, a boy serves to stand at the helm, but he that gives him the orders is pilot.”
