Excerpt from The Rule of the Road at Sea and in Inland Waters, or Steering and Saiiling Rules: Collisions and Law of the Port Helm

It is the duty of every seaman to study and familiarize himself with the "Rules of the Road."

A correct understanding of these rules will enable those in command, and officers in charge of decks of vessels, to act with promptitude at critical moments when the vessels in their charge and the lives of all on board may depend upon their knowledge and prompt action for safety. The introduction of steam in ocean navigation and the great increase in the number of vessels employed in commerce within the last 25 years have also greatly increased the responsibilities of those engaged in navigation. The simple "Rules of the Road" - the common law of the sea - which governed in the days of sailing ships, are no longer sufficient guides to safety.

Maritime nations have found it necessary to enact stringent laws upon the subject, specifying in minute detail the obligations devolved upon all officers and others occupying responsible positions on board ship.

All, or nearly all, the maritime nations of the world have adopted the same "Rules of the Road at Sea" to prevent collisions and the loss of life and property on board ship; notwithstanding which, there is considerable diversity of opinion at the present day in regard to the practical benefits which they were designed to confer upon seafaring men.

Owing mainly to the great loss of life and property by collisions at sea in late years, and especially in the summer of 1866, public attention was very naturally drawn to the laws of passing vessels, which led to animated and able discussions upon the subject, and resulted in many suggestions in regard to proposed alterations of existing rules.

The United Service Institution of Great Britain undertook the investigation of the subject of the "Loss of Life at Sea, Collisions, Ships' Lights, and the Rule of the Road," on the evening of May 2, 1866, at a regular meeting of the Institution, and continued the discussions at adjourned and regular meetings with great earnestness until the middle of the following July.
