maritime idiots don't know how to run an electrical cord to a warningbeacon on a big rock!
 

Neither do insurance companies or cruise companies.

So why would you expect anyone with brains to be in charge of ship
maintainance?

According to news reports, residents nearby say that ships have come
close to that rock in the past.

you will see that nothing would have slowed Captain not so Couragous.

WRONG ! Someone else would have seen a beacon and told the captain. If
he the captain was bent on suicide and continued to move the ship
toward the beacon, the second in command would most likely be
courageous enough to take control. I'm sure the second or third in
command is allowed to take control when superiors are grossly out of
their mind.Most captains respond and avoid warning beacons. If not-
perhaps you can give us a specific example when one didn't respond.

If so, in Italy no one stops for a red light or responds to any
warning signal- like an approaching train ! Give us a break! If that
captain KNEW there was a big rock there, he never would have got near
it ! The reason why he didn't know is because it was not VISABLE. It
WOULD have been visable if there was a cheap tower on that rock with a
cheap strobe light on it- working! Certainly, SOMEONE would have seen
such a beacon approaching, including a passenger- and they would have
yelled and called the bridge. Unlike the Titanic which had poor
visability.

Wouldn't that be the responsibility of whatever the Italian Coast
Guard is or of a maritime authority?

Sure it is their responsibility. Isn't it also the responsibility of
the shipping and cruise industry and their insurers to pressure the
maritime authority to place warning beacons on rocks that they know
are a threat to their business (ships, cargo and LIVES) !?

Not really outside of shipping lanes and the general markers and it WAS
on maps. About the only thing they could do differently would be station
marksmen on the areas and try to shoot the Captains that come too close.
One across the bow, as it were.

They don't shoot the captains here on Lake Michigan. All along the
lakeshore at Holland, S. Haven, Ludington- they have a searchlight
tower at the end of the piers to
warn ships about the pier and the shore. Keep on making excuses for
the idiots in charge.
