Close up of Battleship Texas's rudder early in the morning on September 1, 2022.

Note: the rudder is turned to 14 degrees to starboard. It has been stuck at this angle from years (1948 to 1988) of being in the mud at San Jacinto and numerous times her steering gear room being flooded. There are no current plans to repair it as other areas need more attention. The Battleship Texas Foundation Staff have said they will inspect it for possible removal or repairs during this drydocking.

Thanks goes to Travis Davis for sharing these wonderful photos with me.

In 2019, a slightly unusual find was made in Kriegers Flak, Denmark, the new offshore wind farm of the electricity provider Vattenfall (no, this is not an advertisement). During construction work they found a rudder.

It is 8.30-metre-long was discovered at a depth of 28 metres and weighs 1.2 tonnes. At the top, the end of the rudder curves forward characteristically with three round ornaments over the tiller.

The marine archaeologists at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde recovered it and it has been under investigation ever since. It seems to be from either the 17th century or the 18th century, because this rudder design could be assigned to two ship types - a Swedish hooker from the 18th century and a Dutch flyboat from the 17th century. Both were typical transport vessels for this period. Ultimately, only a more detailed examination and a dendrochornological study will be able to tell us more.

Interestingly, only the rudder was found, the ship is not there, which suggests that it may have been lost during a storm.
