Description
At Port Dover I found an old Galver (boat steering wheel) probably off of one of the fishing boats of days gone by. I thought I would give it an artsy treatment yet still maintain a nautical theme.
The wheel of a ship is the modern method of changing the angle of the rudder to change the direction of the boat or ship. It is also called the galver, together with the rest of the steering mechanism. The wheel is typically connected to a mechanical or hydraulic system.
