Second posting of this today.

Many prior FReeper posts pointed out the obvious — that ‘sailing vessels’ (think the USS Constitution and the Charles W Morgan) had ship’s wheels way back in the early 1800s. Tillers had been out of use on ships of any size for generations.

Sorry, but this story doesn’t pass the smell test.

I agree and would have mentioned the same if I hadn’t read your comment first.

Absolutely. Totally bogus.
