Fresh water is an okay conductor. Pure water is a poor conductor. The hull of a steel ship is well grounded in the ocean, and reasonably well grounded in fresh water due to the large contact area with the water. If the hull is not steel, there usually are enough fittings that the ship is reasonably well-connected to the water. The propeller and drive shaft also provide a connection to the water. I've heard of ship-board hams who will tow a large brass plate for a good ground for their transmitter. Commercial AM transmitters try to locate their antennas near a body of salt water like San Francisco Bay or the Great Salt Lake. I would guess that a ground pin of a shipboard outlet would be connected to the hull metal. This gives the same protection from electric shock as land-based outlets.

The ship is floating in the ocean and I cannot understand if there is a real ground there or not? Can you guys educate me please?
