What is a Wheelhouse?

Wheelhouse is a nautical term that refers to the area on a ship where the steering wheel or helm is located. It is typically situated near the center of the ship and is used to control the direction of the vessel. The wheelhouse is also sometimes referred to as the "pilothouse" or "control room."

In addition to its literal meaning, the term "wheelhouse" has also been used figuratively to refer to a person's area of expertise or responsibility. For example, someone might say that a particular task or project is "outside my wheelhouse," meaning that it is not within my area of knowledge or experience.
