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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The mere presence of the pilot makes no difference. * * * Hesponsibility and liability must depend upon matters of substance, and not on mere form. If the pilot had really been in command, the ship would have been primarily responsible, even though the proximate cause of the damage had been the disobedience or incompetence of tug masters who were furnishing the motive power. But this pilot was not in command and he was guilty of no personal negligence. Therefore, the ship with which ho is identified is absolved.””
