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.

1. ““It is clear that the master of the Margie J. Franklin must be regarded as her owner pro" hac vice. He sailed her on shares, and had sole control of her use and navigation, employed and paid her crew, and provided them food. I know of no case which has disturbed the authority of Thorp v. Hammond, 12 Wall. 416 , in winch it was held, that for damages resulting from a collision the owner pro hac vice is liable, and the general owner is not. The vessel is liable in rem, but the general owner is not not liable in personam.””
