G W Cooper a Patten Maine inventor argues in a special to The New York Times that to prevent marine disasters ships should sail as paired sister vessels of half the size instead of a single leviathan. He calls for two ships to stay within miles of each other with constant communication to enable instant aid during any incident. He cites Titanics and Empress of Ireland losses as proof.
