Congress Investigates the Titanic

The Carl Levin Center for Oversight and Democracy at the Wayne State University Law School, in collaboration with the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, has released its latest Portrait in Oversight.  It is devoted to Congressional hearings in 1912 on the sinking of the Titanic, which led to such reforms as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea and the International Ice Patrol.
