Lifeboats

[Bergman]

Can anyone help

I am trying to find out when lifeboat drill became compulsory on British ships.

I believe it pre-dated the Titanic but rules were changed following the disaster to have drill in first 24 hours.

Is this correct or have I been misled.

Any help appreciated

Maybe the 1876 Merchant Shipping Act? nm
