Scenarios about 'maritime safety'
Maritime safety encompasses regulations, practices, and technologies developed to prevent accidents and protect human life, vessels, and marine environments at sea. It evolved significantly following major maritime disasters like the Titanic sinking, leading to international conventions such as SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) and the establishment of coast guards and maritime authorities. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to maritime safety could dramatically alter shipping patterns, naval power balances, and the development of coastal communities.
