the lookout who was stationed at the top of the mast
The lookout post was atop the mast just as a birds nest might be at the top of a tall tree. From that vantage point the bird could see any potential threats that were approaching. The same is true with the lookout in the crows nest. They could see any other ships or reefs or anything that could cause a problem well before anyone on deck might see it.
The person on the mast of a ship is typically called a "lookout." Their primary responsibility is to keep watch for navigational hazards, other vessels, and land. In sailing terminology, they may also be referred to as a "topman" if they are working in the rigging or sails at the top of the mast.

Yes, the term "crow's nest" is the name given the to platform at the top of the main mast of a ship. In the early designs it was simply a barrel or a basket lashed to the tallest mast. Later it became a specially designed platform with protective railing. Sailors (people) climb to the crow's nest to keep a lookout while at sea because at that point of elevation one can see further.

crows build nests in places where they feel safe from possible predators, e.g up in a high tree or in a hedge. :) The term 'crow's nest' is also used when referring to the fixed lookout point at the top of the mast of a sailing vessel.
The rope from the top of a mast is called a "halyard." Halyards are used to raise and lower sails or flags on a sailing vessel. They are typically attached to the sail or flag and run through pulleys at the masthead to facilitate easier handling.
