SHIP'S BRIDGE BEGAN WITH PADDLE WHEEL VESSELS
Traditionally, sailing ships were commanded from the quarterdeck, aft of the mainmast. With the
arrival of paddle steamers, engineers required a platform from which they could inspect the paddle
wheels and where the captain's view would not be obstructed by the paddle houses. A raised
walkway, literally a bridge, connecting the paddle houses was therefore provided. When the screw
propeller superseded the paddle wheel, the bridge was retained.
