Occupation

Joseph DUPIL was a Pilote.
The pilote, an expert in navigation, was the person who maneuvered and guided a ship. He worked alongside the ship's captain, communicating the ship's position and possible dangers to navigation (currents, islands, reefs, shallow water, etc.). To do this, he used navigation instruments such as the compass or the sextant. He checked his instruments daily and noted any significant observations.
