John Harrison ( 24 March 1693 – 24 March 1776 ) was a self-educated English carpenter and later a clockmaker.

John Harrison was born in Foulby, near Wakefield in West Yorkshire, the first of five children in his family.

Three of Harrison's early wooden clocks have survived ; the first ( 1713 ) is at the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers ' Collection in Guildhall ; the second ( 1715 ), is in the Science Museum and the third ( 1717 ) is at Nostell Priory in Yorkshire, the face bearing the inscription " John Harrison Barrow ".

Following Harrison, the marine timekeeper was reinvented yet again by John Arnold who while basing his design on Harrison's most important principles, at the same time simplified it enough for him to produce equally accurate but far less costly marine chronometers in quantity from around 1783.

I found that ... at midnight Mars's position was three and a half degrees to the east. John Harrison solved the greatest problem of his day.

John Harrison, a self-educated English clockmaker then invented the marine chronometer, a key piece in solving the problem of accurately establishing longitude at sea, thus revolutionising and extending the possibility of safe long distance sea travel.

Though the British rewarded John Harrison for his marine chronometer in 1773, chronometers remained very expensive and the lunar distance method continued to be used for decades.

' These included: Chief Justice Coke, who had been Solicitor to the High Court of Justice, Major-General Harrison, Col. John Jones ( also a member of the High Court of Justice ), Mr. Thomas Scot, Sir.
