Titanic: Revolution
Almost every revolution begins with a reaction. If no one had a reaction to the sinking of the Titanic, there would have been no change or upgrade in boat safety laws. The builders, contractors, and crew members didn't think of the possibility of an iceberg hitting the ship and piercing holes into its bow that would break through watertight compartments. Society's reaction was to be sure that this never happened again, and immediately take action. Recommendations were made by both the British and American Boards of Inquiry saying that ships would now have to carry enough lifeboats for those aboard, mandatory lifeboat drills would be implemented, and lifeboat inspections would be conducted. Many of these recommendations were implemented into the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea passed in 1914. Britain also made new regulations about the bulkheads and made a bulkhead committee to create better technological bulkheads. One law they enforced was that the bulkheads had to be longer than before, and at least 30 feet above water. To this day, all cruise ships need to have every passenger know what to do incase of an emergency, and also to keep enough lifeboats on ship so everyone will be able to depart safely.
Without society's reaction to the "Unsinkable Ship's" disaster, there would have never been action taken worldwide to promote ship safety.
