Hi Zack. sometimes it takes a longer time to search for figurine sources. But we`re lucky to be able to use the WWW today. When cosidering the scale for a new project I usualy have a short research if there would be appropriate figures available in that scale, because self-carving is not my thing, and on the other hand in my opinion a model without crew is too naked. Here a few examples of scale 1:48 crew figures (origine of metal cast or plastic). In case of the rowing boats crew there was a slight surgery to figures arms (one side) in order to to grab the oar end properly, fitting some self made tricorn hats, for individuals, etc...., enjoy...

Hi Ilhan, on heritage steam merchant steamers and other early ships, later also motorships, there used to be an emergency steering device, that operates directly to the Rudder, by coupling out the the chain that drives the large horizontal chainwheel. When the ship is steered from the bridge the kinematic devices are coupled out As a steam cargo ship would immediately become unmanouverable if the steering chain breaks, and that happens "favorably" at night and in high going sea, it can be dangerous to man the emergency rudder stand at aft, and not being washed overboard. The telemotor at the bridge controlled the auxilliary steam engine winding drums that spooled up resp. spooled down the rudderchain ends for stb / port pull. Under such circumstances (broken rudder chain) my grandfathers ship the "Heinrich Kayser" foundered and went down in a North Atlantic storm with all that were on her in Dec. 1922 Nils Emergency rudder stand port rudderchain spool drum both spool drums, with the superstructure containment which bears the steam operated ruder "servo" engine, operated from the telemotor at the bridge and controlled steam valves
