Suzanne:

I would contact the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum in Biloxi, MS.  If
they haven't got one I bet they know where you can get one.

Subject: Re: Anybody have a surplus ship's wheel?


> Hi list,

> We're in the process of acquiring a 46' shrimp boat, but we need to find a
wheel for it.  The owner had promised the original wheel to his oldest son,
so we need to find a replacement.  Does anyone know of such a wheel that we
might be able to buy or trade for?  It doesn't have to be that old -- the
boat dates from the 1980s, I believe.  It's wood, 32" diameter, on a 1"
shaft. (I can send a photo if necessary.)
