Look up. That circle of sloping iron plates overhead shielded Cairo's pilothouse. From this exposed perch atop the upper deck, the pilot steered the gunboat and the officer on duty kept a watchful eye on the river. Orders to the engine room to change speed were sent using a signal board or by shouting through a speaking tube.
