Descrição do livro

In Relation To Collisions At Sea, Dec. 1858 by J. H. Brower. This historical report from the New-York Chamber of Commerce analyzes the causes of maritime collisions and the law governing liability. It explains that collisions have long been a peril of navigation and surveys how fault and damages are allocated, including the rule of equal liability when both ships are at fault and the limitations set by the 1851 act. Drawing on English and American jurisprudence, the report argues for a universal, international approach to maritime liability and proposes an act to limit pecuniary liability and to punish willful wrongdoing at sea, including piracy. The document includes annexed resolutions and forms for congressional consideration, as well as appendices critiquing and illustrating the practical implications through famous cases (Adriatic-Lyonnais, Arctic-Vesta, City of Philadelphia, Andrew Foster-Tuscarora). It urges modernization of the law to reflect modern ocean commerce and the shared risks borne by shipowners, shippers, and underwriters.
