\n (1812)<\/span><\/p>\n

1`. An injury<\/a> to person or property<\/a> of which admiralty<\/a> will take jurisdiction<\/a> because of its origin on navigable waters in a maritime matter, including torts<\/a> resulting from malfeasance<\/a> or negligence<\/a>, as well as those committed by direct force. 2 Am J2d Adm \u00a7\u00a7 77 et seq.<\/span>; 48 Am J1st Ship \u00a7 531<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So long as a tort<\/a> is committed on navigable waters, it is not essential to its classification as a maritime tort that it be committed on board a vessel. Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. v O’Hearne<\/em> (CA4 Va) 192 F2d 968<\/span>.<\/strong> [2]<\/span><\/p>\n

1. An injury<\/a> to person or property<\/a> of which admiralty courts will take jurisdiction<\/a> because it occurred on navigable waters.<\/strong> [3]<\/span><\/p>\n
