The stern rudder is a type of steering device located at the rear (stern) of a ship, which allows for more effective maneuverability compared to earlier steering methods like the side rudder. It became prominent during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, significantly improving navigation and vessel control. The design contributed to the development of larger ships that could sail more efficiently across oceans. This innovation played a key role in the expansion of maritime trade and exploration during that era.

Why rudder is not fitted forward of ship?
Every vessel has a pivot point or center where it turns the best. The stern of a vessel would be hard to control if the rudder was at the bow. When docking, if the rudder was at the bow, you would never be able to get the stern of the vessel to the dock. Once you got the bow to the dock or pier, there would be no way to control the stern to make it swing. Once the bow is at the dock, with the rudder at the stern, the force of water passing across it from the propeller will push the stern into or away from the dock relative to the angle of the rudder.

Who developed the stern rudder and triangular sails?
The stern rudder and triangular sails were developed by Chinese naval engineers during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). These innovations significantly improved ship maneuverability and sailing efficiency, allowing for better navigation and control. The stern rudder provided stability, while the triangular sails enabled ships to sail more effectively against the wind. These advancements played a crucial role in maritime trade and exploration.

What is the difference between cruiser stern and transcom stern?
A cruiser stern hangs over the water past the rudder of the vessel and is rounded. A good example of this would be the RMS Titanic, or (for a more modern vessel which is still afloat) the S.S. Empire State 6, the training ship for SUNY Maritime College. A transom stern is not rounded. It's a straight "flat" stern and sits directly over the rudder. This is the design you see on containerships and tankers today. It uses less steel and doesn't effect the efficiency of the vessel when underway.
