Which outcome resulted from copper sheathing dissolving electrolytically on 18th-century wooden ships hulls?

💡 Explanation

When copper sheathing experiences galvanic corrosion in seawater because it becomes an anode relative to other submerged metals especially if those metals are iron this causes accelerated iron fastener oxidization. Therefore iron fastener corrosion resulted as opposed to biofouling top speed or torsion which require different mechanisms.
