Who was steering when the titanic sank?
That would be Quartermaster Robert Hichens, who received the order "hard-a-starboard!"

How does a steering wheel on a boat steer the boat?
The steering wheel on an outboard powered vessel, turns the engine port and starboard, (left and right) to steer the craft.

For an straight inboard powered vessel, the helm is connected to a rudder which when turned, steers the craft port or starboard.
In boating does hard a starboard have two meanings?
In the film Titanic, the Second Officer gives the order 'hard a starboard' when the iceberg is sighted: the helmsman then turns the wheel and the ship to port.The reason is that in the British Merchant Navy steering orders used to be given as helm orders; as though the helmsman at the wheel was actually holding a tiller. So 'hard a starboard' would mean 'put your helm or tiller hard a starboard'. This would turn the ship's rudder to port and so the ship would turn to port.This all changed with the Merchant Shipping (Safety and Load Line Conventions) Act, 1932, which came into effect on 1 January 1933. This brought the British Merchant Navy into line with the rest of the world, so that from that date all steering orders were given as wheel orders, and 'hard a starboard' did in fact mean 'turn right'.
