Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The rule of law is perfectly well settled that a tug undertaking to tow a, vessel in navigable waters is bound to know the proper and accustomed water ways and channels, the depth of water, and the nature and formation of the hoi tom. whether in its natural state, or as changed by permanent excavations. When all these conditions, as they exist, admit of safe towage, the tug is responsible for any neglect to observe and be guided by them.””
