Synopsis
Protect ships from lightning with proven conductors that actually work at sea.
This edition presents Harris’s method for making a ship’s whole hull a safe, conducting body, reducing dangerous electrical shocks during storms. It collects decades of naval experience and evidence showing how proper conductors save ships, crews, and cargo.
This book explains why simple rigging conductors often fail and how a complete, integrated system can prevent explosive damage. It draws on examples from the British Navy and practical tests to argue for durable, copper-based conductors that tie every mast, beam, and fastener to the water.- How a ship’s metal masses can be made to act as one conducting body from truck to keel
- Why standard rigging conductors sometimes fail and what a better system looks like
- Historical cases showing ships protected during heavy thunderstorm events
- Cost considerations and the long-term safety and savings for fleets
