Ship's Wheel

The wheel of a ship is the modern way to control and hence move the angle of the rudder which in turn changes the direction of the boat or ship. Older systems use a tiller (a long stick) fixed directly to the rudder, or a vertical stick acting on the stick fixed to the rudder. The wheel is typically connected to a mechanical or hydraulic system.
