helm#2
韓国のフェリーが転覆した事件について，三等航海士が操縦していたことが判明しました。見出しに書かれている"helm"に注目しました。『Wisdom第三版（三省堂）』を見ると「舵をとる，舵，操舵装置，指導する立場」などという意味がありました。以前のブログでは「実権を握る」という意味が紹介されておりましたが，今回はそのまま「舵をとっていた」ということです。現在は，船のサルベージの手続き，船内に空気の注入が行われております。（Ume）
South Korea ferry: Third officer 'had the helm'
The third officer was at the helm of the ferry that capsized off South Korea, investigators said, as divers worked to access the sunken hull.
A total of 270 people - including scores of high school students - remain missing after Wednesday's disaster.
Twenty-six people are now known to have died and 179 were rescued.
It is not clear why the ferry sank, but experts have suggested it either hit a rock or turned sharply, unbalancing the vessel as cargo shifted.
The vessel - named Sewol - had been travelling from Incheon, in the north-west, to the southern resort island of Jeju. It capsized and sank within a period of two hours, officials said.
