Dava Sobel's 1996 bestseller Longitude (ISBN 0-14-025879-5) recounts Harrison's story.
The actor Jeremy Irons played him in Longitude, a dramatisation of Dava Sobel's book Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time, which recounted in part Gould's work in restoring the chronometers.
The story begins with John Harrison, as documented in Dava Sobel's book Longitude and its British television adaptation.
