Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recent Problems in Admiralty Jurisdiction: A Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor Pf Philosophy, 1920
Along with the development and progress of the American people there has been a constant evolution of law in an effort to keep pace with the advances made. This evolution has been a slow one in most instances. In 1914 the greater part of all the Admiralty and Shipping law of the United States was built upon and dealt with conditions arising out of the old clipper ship days. For nearly a half century the American ?ag had disappeared from the seas. The law as it stood was anachronistic. With the building of the enormous American merchant ?eet of today, the law was again called upon. Many and sudden changes were necessary, both legis lative and judicial. So rapid and complex have these been, that, as yet, great uncertainty prevails.
