In my research of the Pictures of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I noticed on the top stern deck what appears to be an additional ship's wheel for steering. However, it is not visible in all the pictures. Was there an additional way to steer this ship other than the pilothouse? And also, just below that deck there are 9 windows. Is there a door between them?
