Vikings didn't use steering wheels, They had a steering oar hanging over one side of the ship like a huge canoe paddle that they steered with. The names for left(port and right(starboard) for boats comes from this tradition. Starboard being a changed but still recognizable form of "steering board" . As not to squash it agains a pier, or have it bash against the bottom that side was kept facing out, and the other side became the port side, named after what it faced.
