No, a tiller or steering wheel steers a boat.
Sailing boats with 3 masts or medium sized wine glasses
The marina was dotted with the masts of hundreds of sail boats.
When they started needing to steer it
The Tudors were Kings and Queens of England and England is part of an island. This means that the only way to get anywhere to go exploring was by boat.
Boats don't travel on it's own. People steer it and maybe, in a row boat, the row the boat.
Canoes dont have sails, or masts, whereas canoes are powered by manpower (Rowing or paddling)
Usually by the number and shape of the hull(s) and by the number of masts. Tonnage is also an important factor.
Small boats use a bar attached to the rudder to steer. Larger boats and ships will use a wheel and rope or chain system to control the rudder.
It is because of right of way boats. Any boat to your right has the right of way. So they put you on the right side so that you can see boats with ease.
masts are sails on yachts.
It is a very meticulous process. The boats are constructed so that the tall masts fold down so that they can fit into the neck of the bottle. Then they are raised/secured using very small hand tools.
Tower Bridge was constructed as an opening bridge to allow boats with tall masts to get into the Pool of London. It became available for use in 1894.
