Name 3 out of 4 burnable objects on the SS United States equipment

<edit TYPO

OK, I'll give You one: The chopping-block in the butcher's shop. Now give me two other items.
Remember, the SS United States was build as a 100% fireproof vessel. And she was. All equipment on board where made out of non flammable material. Chairs, tables, even the main deck, deck chairs etc. Except 4 3 items. I gave You one. Another one could be flammable, but only in theory. So, give me the other two. end edit>

Aad

The only other item, apart from the butchers blocks, was wood in the bilge keels, see attached:

And that part, normally UNDER water, would catch no fire. They forgot one thing in Wikipedia.
It's made from wood just because it's tradition. And You really need it to s...r the vessel.
Fill in the dots and You'll find the correct answer.

BTW, Wikipedia is'nt allways right. In the Dutch version the Piano was made from wood. Wood can burn. There was nothing mentioned about fire-resistant wood, so that put me on the wrong leg.

To steer it? The steering wheel (don't know the nautical English term for it

)?
