Thanks Bjorn for the explanation

1: hatch tent against rain - 2: steering machine ,
you can see the steering wheel and it's right above the rudder.

She's a tidy looking ship, looks like she's just come out of dry dock ! What's under those tarpaulins? And what's the 'coffin-like' box at the stern? Is it for disposing bodies at sea ?

As I continue to look at this wonderful image, the more I notice & the more I admire it.
So much detail & it is just 'right' in every way.
Cracking Mike!
