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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The sloop was entitled to assume that the tug was navigating with a proper lookout, and with reasonable attention to the obligations laid upon her. If, under that assumption, the sloop’s maneuver was not calculated to mislead or embarrass the tug, it is immaterial whether or not she ran out her port tack. The testimony shows that she had gone about and filled upon the starboard tack before collision. The disputed question is whether there was abundant time and space to enable the tug, seeing her maneuver, to keep out of the way.””
