161 U.S. 459 (1896)

THE DELAWARE.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided March 2, 1896.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. J. Parker Kirlin for appellant.

Mr. Harrington Putnam for appellees.


MR. JUSTICE BROWN delivered the opinion of the court.

There are two questions involved in this case: first, whether the tug Talisman was guilty of a fault contributing to the collision; and second, whether the Delaware is exonerated from liability under the act of February 13, 1893, known as the Harter Act, by the fact that her owners had used due diligence to make her seaworthy, and provide her with competent officers and crew.
