and my maritime hallucinations, or is there another person hanging out in the caboose boat?

There was somebody in the last boat. You can get a slightly better view by clicking on the "See it larger" link above.

It's harder to tow a line of boats without someone in the last boat. Kid of like the firefighter in the little booth in back who steers the rear wheels of a long ladder truck.

On a boat or hook and ladder firetruck, it's the tillerman.

noun

a person who operates the tiller of a boat or other vehicle, such as the rear of a fire engine.
