US Senate report submitted
node
The subcommittee reported to the Senate, condemning the Californian's inaction, the absence of boat drill and of a continuous wireless watch, and the lifeboat shortfall. Its recommendations fed directly into American radio legislation later that year and into the 1914 SOLAS conference.
