pilothouse
A pilothouse is a compartment on a ship or boat from which the vessel is controlled and navigated.

Pilothouse
A pilothouse or pilot-house is a glass-enclosed room from which a ship is controlled by the ship's pilot. The pilothouse also is known as the wheelhouse. It usually is located on top of the largest deck or highest deck. The steering wheel or helm, compass, engine order telegraph, and chart table are located here. On many ships, especially military and cruise ships, the pilothouse is considerably larger and combined with a number of other control structures as part of the ship's bridge. Pilothouses may also be a feature of smaller vessels.
