This volume contains the proceedings of a conference held on September 27, 1916, at the Department of Commerce Building in Washington, D.C., regarding the establishment of load-line regulations for ships. Presided over by the Honorable William C. Redfield, then Secretary of Commerce, the conference brought together experts and stakeholders to discuss and formulate rules to ensure the safety of vessels and their crews. The transcript offers a detailed look into the discussions, arguments, and considerations that shaped early maritime law in the United States. It is an invaluable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the development of maritime safety standards and the role of government regulation in the shipping industry.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
