““ * * * What does ‘seaworthy’ mean in the implied or expressed warranty to which the insured is to be held? “Arnould on Marine Insurance, vol. II (10th English Ed.) says: “ ‘Sec. 710. It is obvious that there can be no fixed and positive standard of seaworthiness, but that it must vary, with the varying exigencies of mercantile enterprise. “The ship,” said Lord Cairns, “should be in a condition to encounter whatever perils of the sea a ship of that kind, and laden in that way, may be fairly expected to encounter”' on the voyage. Steel v. State Line S. S. Co. (1877) [L.R.] 3 App.Cas. 72, 77 [4 Eng.Rul.Cas. 697]. * * * “ ‘Again the class of vessel may be such as will not admit of being put into that condition of seaworthiness requisite in ordinary cases for the contemplated voyage. The effect of this is not to dispense with the implied warranty of seaworthiness, but to accommodate the 'warranty to what is reasonably practicable in the particular case. * * * ’ ””
