Jim Lad got a reaction from Canute in Seeking info about steering chain/rod cover
I don't want to make this an argument, but the steering rods were very commonly above the level of the deck - they wouldn't interfere with the scupper. A mate of mine was (long ago) third mate on a ship with rod and chain steering. He told me of the time when they got into terrible trouble because the running end of a derrick guy was washed under the steering rod covers in heavy seas and completely jammed the steering.
Ilhan, the actual position of the rods and chains varied enormously and depended on what was most convenient for the run of the rods - the convenience or safety of the crew didn't really matter. Looking at your drawing, I'd say that the rods ran just inboard of the awning stanchions.

Jim Lad got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Arabia 1856 by Cathead - FINISHED - Scale 1:64 - sidewheel riverboat from the Missouri River, USA
"We moved here in 2006 and have now been present for three of the top five snowfalls on record (going back to at least the late 1800s)." - The inference is obvious, mate! 😉
