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.
The heaviest ship ever built was the Seawise Giant, built in 1979 by Sumitomo Heavy Industries (Japan). She had a lighstship displacement of 81,879 tons, and a full load displacement of 646,642 tons. She sailed under different names until 2004 when it was used as a floating oil storage facility, and finally sold for scrap in 2009.

Why is it that the bridge of a ship is in front and back?
Navy ships and Cruse ships have the bridge at the front as they have a large superstructure.
Cargo vessels don't have a large superstructure, so the bridge is at the back also providing constant observation of the cargo.
Ferries with short crossings some times have the bridge in the middle of the ship so they don't have to keep turning around wasting time and fuel.
Hope this helps.

When a vessel is floating upright, there are two forces acting on it. The buoyancy force acts upwards and the gravity force acts donwards, cancelling each other. If a heeling force acts upon it (such as a wave hitting it), these forces are upset, and then a couple is formed. If the ship is loaded properly, a righting couple results, bringing the ship upright. If the center of gravity is too low, then an upsetting couple will result, capsizing (overturning) the ship.
How did the ships stay on course?
They used a combination of practices. Prior to the early 1700s, captains on sailing ships used the stars. In the 1600s, they used "Reflecting instruments". By 1730, they used a sextant which is a "doubly reflecting navigation instrument". All instruments used angles between stars visible to the ship. The compass was in use as early as the ChineseHan Dynasty (about 206 BC). It was used for navigation by the Song Dynasty Chinese during the 11th century,
