The Motorboat Act of 1910 established what?

• A. Title 14 of US Code
• B. Coast Guard Act
• C. Maritime Safety Act
• D. Boating Safety Regulation

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how early laws about motorized vessels were organized into the federal code. The Motor Boat Act of 1910 set up federal oversight of motorboats—things like registration and safety rules—and that framework ultimately fed into how those maritime authorities and protections are organized in law. In the United States Code, the section that covers the Coast Guard and related maritime statutes is Title 14. So this act helped establish that body of codified law, which is why the association with Title 14 is the best answer.

The other options reference important maritime milestones, but not this act’s effect. The act that created the Coast Guard itself came later and reorganized the agencies into a single service, and there isn’t a separate historical statute commonly titled a “Maritime Safety Act” from this period. Regulations arise under statutes, not as standalone acts, so they don’t represent what the Motor Boat Act of 1910 established.
