Wikipedia
hobbler
A maritime pilot, marine pilot, harbor pilot, port pilot, ship pilot, or simply pilot, is a mariner who maneuvers ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths. Maritime pilots are regarded as skilled professionals in navigation as they are required to know immense details of waterways such as depth, currents, and hazards, as well as displaying expertise in handling ships of all types and size. Obtaining the title 'maritime pilot' requires being an expert ship handler licensed or authorised by a recognised pilotage authority.

hobbler
A hobbler is an individual or object that hinders or restricts movement, either by physically limiting it or by causing a psychological barrier. Originally, it referred to individuals who made and fitted hobbles, which are restraints traditionally used on the legs of a horse to prevent it from straying. In contemporary usage, it can be used metaphorically to describe anything that obstructs or slows progress.
