Quick Overview

Wooden Ship's Wheel is a great decoration piece. The ship's wheel is made of wood with sold brass nave.


Wooden Ship's Wheel makes excellent home or office decoration. The wheel measures 24" from spoke to spoke. Ship's wheel, along with the anchor, is the symbol of ships and sea. It was introduced sometime in the beginning of the 18th century. Before the wheel, ships were steered with the tiller. Larger ships of that age had the tiller linked with block and tackle systems to the rudder which made steering cumbersome. The wheelstand was most often placed close to the rudder on the aft deck and nearly always in the open air. Only later with the introduction of steam ships built from iron and steel, the wheel was moved to the "bridge", and the command center was from then called the "wheelhouse".
