Premise
You're a stowaway on an oil tanker in the North Atlantic. Questions to consider: why are you there? Are you trying to stop a dastardly plot? Are you trying to start one? How did you get on board? Who's the pretty birdie then? (just kidding) Bonus objects: a lump of clay, a cheerleader's pompom, a photograph of the loch ness monster, a bottle of Dr Pepper, and tomorrow's newspaper today.

Note: The wheel in the Bridge isn't mentioned; you have to guess that it's there (which is tricky, since examining the instruments/lights/doodads gives the false assurance that they're unimportant).
