Wrong again, Neal. Your batting average is only slightly better than jaxie's.
The current Colregs (adopted in 1972) obvious did not exist, but most of the major seafaring countries had rules by the
1860's. The first international rules were drafted in 1889, 6 years before Slocum left on his famous voyage. They are
surprisingly similar to the current rules, with many of the same phrases.
Regarding lookouts:
"Nothing in these Rules shall exonerate any vessel, or the owner, master or crew thereof, from the consequences of any neglect
to carry lights or signals or of any neglect to keep a proper look-out, or of the neglect of any precaution which may be
required by the ordinary practice of seamen, or by the special circumstances of the case."
This was worded the same in the 1948 version, and then lookouts were move to Rule 5 in 1972.
But they weren't the COLREGS and it was the COLREGS about
which I made my true statement.

G Lame, Neal ..... real lame.

Why is it lame to point out the truth? Jeff, himself, wrote the
COLREGS were adopted in 1972. That makes my statement about
Slocum and the COLREGS entirely true.
You people need to take a couple remedial English courses. . .

G Lamer, Neal .... or should that be.... more lame.
COLREGS is a new name for an updated version of the same rules. "Rules of the Nautical Road", "International Regulations for
Preventing Collisions at Sea" are a couple others.
Typically, your trying to carry your argument through, based on words rather than substance.

Words are how we communicate. They must be used as defined
or we no longer communicate . . .
