Bronze Tiller and Rudder stock.
The decision was made to remove the tiller from the head of the rudder stock. This would hopefully allow the rudder to slide out the bottom. In the end Hatasoo couldn't safely be lifted up high enough. Even so it was interesting to see the top of the stock to see how 130 years of use takes its toll.
With the nut off there is evidence of what might be revealed.
As can be seen the square shank isn't so square and the threaded section I would imagine isn't in aligned the way it should.
