A navigational chart showing Cape Hatteras and Diamond Shoals

When the Home sank on Diamond Shoals off of Cape Hatteras in 1837, there were only two life jackets for all 130 people on board.  Ninety people died.

Congress passed the Steamboat Act the next year, requiring all vessels to carry one life jacket per passenger.
