Plimsoll Day marks the birth of Samuel Plimsoll in 1824.
Plimsoll was a member of the British Parliament and an advocate for sailors' safety. His work created Plimsoll's bill, which ended the practice of overloading ships, a hazard that increased the danger of capsizing and impeded the ability to navigate vessels safely.
The bill passed in 1876 and instituted the Plimsoll Line, the mark you see on cargo ships to mark at which point the boat has reached total capacity.
By 1894, the line was standardized based on volume and weight.
