That every ship be required to carry sufficient life-boats for all passengers
and crew.
That the use of wireless be regulated to prevent interference by amateurs,
and that all ships have a wireless operator on constant duty.
Detailed recommendations are made as to water-tight bulkhead construction
on ocean-going ships. Bulkheads should be so spaced that any
two adjacent compartments of a ship might be flooded without sinking.
Transverse bulkheads forward and abaft the machinery should be
continued watertight to the uppermost continuous structural deck, and
this deck should be fitted water-tight.
