After multiple severe storms in 1859, Fitzroy decided to take action and place those barometers at ports throughout Britain, in order to facilitate the prediction of similar storms and other dangerous weather conditions, to make sure that ships would begin their sailing safely and to protect the lives of their crew. The harbour barometer contains 2 different types of barometers, an aneroid (works without the use of a liquid), and a Fitzroy barometer.
