Lightning at sea in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
Lightning accidents are relatively rare ashore, but in the age of sail it was extremely common for vessels and seamen to be struck. Nonetheless, this type of danger remains understudied by maritime historians. Lightning resulted in disrupted navigation, damaged vessels, and numerous serious or lethal injuries. This lecture will use a range of printed and archival sources from Britain and western Europe to investigate the ways in which natural philosophers' understanding of lightning, shipboard surgeons' limited training on the matter, and inventors' bids to protect nautical instruments and infrastructure from strikes interacted with sailors' vernacular and embodied knowledge. Lightning shaped the maritime world to an extent that is yet to be fully recognised.
