connection boxes may be combined. The installations
vary from ship to ship, and those mentioned here
serve only as examples of the variety you may find in
the fleet. On a large ship you are likely to find one
arrestor box and one connection box on each side,
port and starboard. Some small ships have only one
lightning arrester box in the circuit ahead of the lines
that branch off to the port and starboard shore-line
connection  boxes.  Normally,  standard  electrical
connection boxes are used where the incoming shore
lines connect to the ship's lines. A practice that is
gaining favor calls for the use of amphonel-type,
multipin, jack-and-plug combinations. In such a case,
the plug fits the shore-line connection box and the
jack attaches to a portable cable that is run to the
