at all ships carrying more than 100 passengers shall
have two searchlights.
That a revision be made of steamship inspection laws of foreign
countries to conform to the standard proposed in the United States.
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.
