Best Answer

The ship's wheel (helm) moves the steering gear, via electrical motors or hydraulic rams, in the engine room which in turn moves the ships rudder.

In the days of sail it was a series of ropes wrapped around the shaft the wheel is attached to. That's why it was so big, to allow leverage to turn wheel and pull the appropriate ropes.
