The back end of a boat is called the stern. The passenger in the stern seat sometimes uses a lightweight paddle to help steer the guideboat. Because he is facing forward--instead of backward like the rower--he can easily see where the boat is headed.
This picture was taken from the viewpoint of the rower in the bow. Walter Wight is in the stern seat, steering a guideboat with a paddle while on Lower Saranac Lake.
