Was the rudder controlled by a tiller or wheel? I don't spot either one. I'm probably looking in the wrong place

There was a tiller below the quarterdeck. The helmsman could see out through some small windows so that he could check the position of the sails.
In the last two pictures you can see a small "step" with these windows in the deck just before the mizzen mast.
In this case the tiller would end just behind the mast. It was probably controlled via ropes and pulleys by the helmsman standing in front of it.
