ferryboatman
Boat crossing operator
A ferryboatman is a man who operates or works on a ferry—a boat that carries passengers, vehicles, or goods across a body of water on a regular route.
The term is old-fashioned; ferry operator or ferryman are more common today.
The ferryboatman collected fares as passengers boarded.
