““It has long been the rule that where one vessel, in violation of statute, is as grossly at fault as was the Greenwell here, that Vessel will be held solely at fault unless the evidence to establish the fault of the other vessel is clear and indisputable. Cf. The Pennsylvania, 19 Wall. 125 , 86 U.S. 125 , 22 L.Ed. 148 ; Taylor v. Harwood, 23 Fed.Cas. [p. 773] No. 13,794.””
