Rowe Harris lightning conductor tale and naval adoption
Snow Harris, an engineer of repute, championed a metallic lightning conductor for ships and proved its value after a lightning flash damaged an experimental setup. His system was adopted on ten ships and later on Admiralty projects. A bifurcated lightning strike protected a fortified building, confirming Harris’s method. He was knighted and granted substantial funds. Separately, Seabury and Thompson witnessed rocks rolling downslope on Waoluni hill, narrowly avoiding cattle as two boys sent rocks down toward a fire place.
