Some verry old inland ships have a bow rudder.

I once saw it in a museum here in Antwerp.

It was nice to have someone recognised as an authority on the subject to agree with me though... I can't get used to this- that's THREE times this year someone has agreed with me...  :-\

I just came across this foto of a bow rudder, fitted on the TEV Wahine, a New Zealand drive-on passenger ship..
It was used to assist in steering when the ship was being reversed into her berth..

My brother reminded me of the towboats sailing on the European waterways. The barges are often fitted with a bow rudder. Not only for manoevering, but also for 'active steering' on the rivers. Especially when they are sailing with empty barges down river, because of the ship's drift.



Edit: bow rudders are controlled by pressurised air, which is feeded from the towboat.
