Helmsman Steering with Whipstaff,16th Century

A whipstaff is a device used in 16th/17th century Europe to control the movement of a large sailing ship. Its development preceded the invention of the more-complex ship's wheel and followed the simple use of a tiller to control the steering of a ship underway. The Elizabethan era is part of the Age of Discovery in which extensive overseas exploration emerged as a powerful factor in European culture and which was the beginning of globalization. Ships grew in size, required smaller crews and were able to sail longer distances without stopping. Illustration from Ship & Ways of Other Days by Edward Keble Chatterton, 1913 (cropped and cleaned).
