Titanic question (sort of)?

Question: Titanic question (sort of)!?

I know that women and children were first in the life boats, but my question is, does that "Law of the sea" still apply today or was it just an old fashioned thing!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

it was just an old fashioned thing!. especially now there are enough life boats for everyone to fit so men don't have to wait!.

well i think modern ships/ferry etc wud have more then enough life boats

if not then hopefully women & children go first

but yay for me i will never have to find out due to the fact that i cud'nt even handle going on a horse pulled boat along a canal without feeling sick so i kno i aint ever going on a boat ever againWww@QuestionHome@Com

women and children first is not part of the "law of the sea!."

And yes it does exist today, except that since it is an international treaty no one can truly enforce it upon others, and it is only used when it is convenient!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
