Its subject is the life of a naval pilot during the American Revolution. It is often considered the earliest example of nautical fiction in American literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilot was Cooper's fourth novel and his first sea tale.

Yet he is not so morbid but that he can occasionally rouse himself to terrific activities in his raids along the English coast. Another character is Long Tom Coffin, of Nantucket, comparable to Harvey Birch and Natty Bumppo from Cooper's other novels.
