“The admiralty jurisdiction in England and in this country was born of a felt need to protect the domestic shipping industry in its competition with foreign shipping, and to provide a uniform body of law for the governance of domestic and foreign shipping, engaged in the movement of commercial vessels from state to state and to and from foreign states. Crosson v. Vance (4th Cir., 1973), 484 F.2d 840, 840 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““We need only go as far as the Supreme Court’s explicit direction to hold that admiralty jurisdiction does not reach a claim for personal injury by a water skier against the allegedly negligent operator of the tow boat.” Crosson v. Vance, 484 F.2d 840, 842 (1973).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If the tort was committed on navigable waters it was within the admiralty jurisdiction. If the injury was suffered on land, even though the offending instrument was a vessel afloat on navigable waters, the matter was beyond the jurisdiction of admiralty.”
