Yes
No
Unclear
It Was A Land Chronometer
Answer
No, John Harrison's first design was not a marine chronometer. His first design was for a clock that could be used at sea, but it was not accurate enough to be used as a marine chronometer. It was not until his fourth design, the H4, that he was able to create a clock that was accurate enough to be used as a marine chronometer.
