Which outcome occurred due to iron sickness in 18th-century ships?

💡 Explanation

Galvanic corrosion increased because dissimilar metals created electrochemical potential differences causing accelerated decay of iron near copper sheathing. Therefore, ships experienced weakened hulls, rather than spoilage or structure failure, caused galvanic action.
