The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
The science or art of conducting a ship from one place to another This includes the supply of necessary im plements and skillful mariners. The instru. ments are useless without the skillful mariners, and conversely, navigation includes two things, — the supply of the instruments or organs of the ship, and the living instruments, or seamen. If either of these is wanting by the negligence of the owner, or of those for whom he is responsible, there is improper navigation.
