Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an 1883 analysis of the origin, history, and legal framework of Wreck Inquiries as they existed at the time of its publication. With a historical perspective on the efforts leading up to the legislation of such inquiries, the author describes the statutory provisions and rules in force throughout the United Kingdom and its colonies, as well as the various tribunals and authorities responsible for conducting these investigations. Noting the growth of jurisdiction and expansion of the role of Wreck Commissioners since the Shipping Casualties Investigations Act of 1879, the book also includes a record of appeals heard under the new provisions, attesting to the growing importance of these inquiries in ensuring the safety of life and property at sea. By providing a comprehensive overview of the legal and practical aspects of Wreck Inquiries, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the development and significance of these investigations in maritime law and the broader history of maritime safety.
