radios on ships

I apologize in advance for asking after this here, but I just had a close friend die, and I want to cite case in a letter to a lawmaker.
But I can't remember the case.
I think the majority opinion was written by Holmes, probably sometime between 1902 and 1932, and the court held that radios on ships should be mandatory. I'm pretty sure it was a civil suit.
Also: what are the best web forums to ask questions like this?
Thanks,
Scott

My condolences as well.
The weird thing is that I rarely forget case names, but I think this case was in the notes of my book or something.

I would just like to point out that I approve of radios on ships. I also think that basic cable is a must.

It would have been 172 if you mentioned pay per view porn.
180 if you said "screw radios; gimme porn!"

There is only one "i" in gimme. For helpful discussion and links (seriously)

Nah, the right way of spelling it just hasn't caught on yet. Give it time, give it time.

I like how it only took a few posts to devolve from death to porn.

Dude, just because two words make up a new word doesn't mean that it should be spelled the same way, haha.
Gimme sounds like some kind of Spanish or French word.

OED says gimme. And I kind of love that the OED has an entry for it.
OP, I'm sorry about your loss. Also sorry about the derailing of your thread. Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question.

Oh please. Because I took half a second to apologize to some guy who'll probably never even check the thread again for helping it go off course? Don't hate because your defended spelling is wrong.

It's Hooper. Thank you very much for your help. Were my friend's medical records in the cloud, she would likely still be alive, and her seven YO little girl would still have a mother.
