    30/30 Today many tugs at Antwerp, and big ships everywhere, push and steer with thrusters that turn all the way round, and some have no rudder at all. After 4,000 years the job has come full circle: like the old steering oar, one device at the stern now steers and drives.

    29/30 Finally the two merged. In 1951 Josef Becker, founder of the German firm Schottel and no relation, built a rudder propeller: a screw that turns right round on its mount. In 1990 the Finnish fairway ship Seili got the first Azipod, an electric motor in a steerable pod.

    28/30 Rudders got cleverer too. Willi Becker, a German Rhine tanker skipper, borrowed the flap from an aircraft wing: a hinged flap on the back of the rudder that swings further than the rudder itself. The flap rudder was the first product of his Hamburg firm, founded in 1946.

    27/30 The Austrian engineer Ernst Schneider had a stranger idea: a disc in the bottom of the hull with upright blades that swing as it turns. Built by the German firm Voith since 1926, it can push a ship in any direction, so many tugs and ferries need no rudder at all.
