The wheel of a ship is the modern method of adjusting the angle of the rudder, in turn changing the direction of the boat or ship. It is also called the helm, together with the rest of the steering  mechanism.

Helmsmen on older ships used a tiller (a long stick) fixed directly to the rudder, or a whipstaff (a vertical stick acting on the tiller). Early ships wheels (c. 1700) were operated to correspond to the motion of the tiller, with a clockwise motion (corresponding to a right tiller motion) turning the rudder and thus the ship to the left. Eventually the control direction of the wheel was reversed to make it more consistent with the action of a motor vehicle's steering wheel. The article "Steering_wheel_(ship)" is part of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_wheel_(ship)

Because of the very large size of this ship wheel it has to be shipped via freight (truck). Shipping rates range from $125 to $225 depending on your location and wether residential or business address.
