Rudders were first used in ancient times, with evidence suggesting their use in Chinese boats as early as the 1st century AD. They became more widely adopted in European ships during the Middle Ages, particularly from the 12th century onward. The development of the stern-mounted rudder significantly improved navigational control and contributed to advancements in ship design.
