Which navigational risk increased dramatically when constructing iron-hulled ships in the 19th century?

💡 Explanation

When iron ships were built, induced magnetism caused a compass deviation because the iron hull became magnetized influencing the compass needle. Therefore, compass deviation risk increased, rather than corrosion, drag, or brittle fracture which were addressed through different design considerations and material treatments.
