A Law Dictionary, Adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States

marine law, is the passage of a ship upon the seas, from one port to another, or to several ports. Every voyage must have a terminus d@ quo and a terminus ad quem. When the insurance is fora limited time, the two extremes of that time are the termini of the voyage insured. When a ship is insured, both outward and homeward, for one entire premium, this with reference to the insurance, is considered but one voyage; and the terminus a quo, is also the terminus ad quem.

Marsh Ins. B. 1, c. 7,8. 5.

As to the commencement and ending of the voyages, see “ Risk.” The voyage, with reference to the legality of it, is sometimes confounded with the traffic in which the ship is engaged, and is frequently said to’ be illegal, only because the trade is so. But a voyage may be lawful, and yet the transport of certain goods on board the ship may be prohibited; or the voyage may be illegal, though the transport of the goods be. lawful.
