International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1914

node

The first SOLAS convention, signed in London on 20 January 1914 by thirteen maritime states and drafted directly in response to the Titanic. It required lifeboat and raft capacity for every person carried, lifeboat drills, watertight subdivision standards, a continuous radio watch at sea, and the establishment of an ice patrol in the North Atlantic. The First World War overtook its entry into force, but its provisions were adopted in national law and carried into the SOLAS convention of 1929, and SOLAS remains the governing safety instrument for shipping.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
