  Helmsman - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
The helmsman (or helm officer) was the Starfleet crewperson who operated the helm console on 23rd century Federation starships.
Other spacefaring services use the term helmsman also, the 22nd century Earth Starfleet for one, but it isn't clear if there is the same relationship with a navigation console, since vessels like NX-01 Enterprise had a single helm station.
Also, control of weapons and defenses is usually handled by the tactical station or the operations manager, rather than their 23rd century equivalents, under the control of the helmsman.

  On "The Helmsman"
The second poem of the volume, "The Helmsman," like "Hermes of the Ways," presents a figure for "H" who is explicitly male; and, like both "Hermes of the Ways" and "Sea Rose," it gives a version of the sea garden, rooted in land and sea.
Although the inland havens initially promised reprieve from the menace of that sea and the dangers of the shore, it is not the unambiguous sanctuary it may seem.
In either case, he is clearly an incarnation of "H," the helmsman and guiding force of the poem, an inchoate persona of the author who may be at one with the speaking "we," who may be alien and hostile, or who may be both.

The Helmsman also bounces against the side of the board, but this is only geometrically possible when it moves from one of the extra corner squares, and bounces along the second rank.

 Mr. Bracegirdle and the Legend of the Headless Helmsman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The helmsman of the sloop, "Yellow", so the story goes, did slip off the coil by hideous misadventure in the time of Charles the First (a high water mark in history for headlessness, by the by, if a little beside the point).
This ill-fated person, whose name has been lost to posterity, was said to have been a good and God-fearing man who had taken a berth on the ship fully in ignorance of the sly designs of her Captain and the rest of his nefarious crew.
All of his anxieties, and all of his energies were directed at one object---or rather two, the second being the accomplishment he must achieve to attain the hope of being worthy of the first, and the first being….Lizzie.
