The result was the Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
Passed in 1914, its framework stands to this day, with many of its rules directly evolving from the Titanic tragedy.
The unsinkable ship: When the Titanic set sail from Southampton, it was the world’s largest ocean liner, built with state-of-the-art maritime technology that many thought made it unsinkable.
Such was the belief in the Titanic that safety regulations of the day were not updated to keep pace with the technology.
Lessons from Titan: Maritime experts and historians have noted the Titan submersible operated outside of the regulations prompted by the Titanic disaster, and did not need to conform to safety regulations, since it operated in international waters.
