/// The Captain is not the only person on a ship that can "take the helm ///
In support of Mikey's statement, it makes little difference that the Captain was 'not' at the helm, that is why there are subordinate officers.
One does not expect the Captain of an aircraft to be at the controls the whole length of time, his 'second officer' (co-pilot) will take over the responsibility of the pilot at times.

The captain of a ferry that capsized off the coast of South Korea with 476 passengers on board has apologised to the families of the victims.
In a televised address with his head bowed, Lee Joon-Seok said he had delayed the order to abandon the Sewol because he thought the sea was too cold and that the passengers, mostly children, would "drift away".
His apology came as it emerged that the the third mate steering a South Korean ferry at the time of a major accident was navigating those waters for the first time
