The ship wheel is used to change course on a boat or ship. It is connected to the mechanism that controls the rudder that in turn turns the ship in the direction that you want to go.

A toggle has replaced some of the ship steering wheels. These may work better but don't have the appeal of the vintage ship wheel. The wheel give a better feel then the toggle but the toggle may have a faster response to sudden danger when the ship has to be turned quickly to avoid some obstacle.

You would love to live as they did and I wonder if they would really be happy escaping from that tropical place. They had everything they needed with plenty of food, good companionship and the time to relax. But anytime you are trapped somewhere, even if it is beautiful you will want to leave.
