Samuel Plimsoll, (born February 10, 1824, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England—died June 3, 1898, Folkestone, Kent), British politician and social reformer who dedicated himself to achieving greater safety for seamen and whose name has been given to a line on the side of a ship indicating the maximum depth to which that ship may be legally loaded.
Today, he is mostly remembered for inventing 'the Plimsoll Line', which is a set of measurements and symbols on the side of ships indicating how much cargo can be safely carried. It was his legislative work in this area that named him the nickname, 'the Sailors' Friend'.
The Plimsoll line is a reference mark located on a ship's hull that indicates the maximum depth to which the vessel may be safely immersed when loaded with cargo. This depth varies with a ship's dimensions, type of cargo, time of year, and the water densities encountered in port and at sea.
