Summary "The Law of the Sea" by George L. Canfield, J. Y. Brinton, and George W. Dalzell is a manual of admiralty law written in the early 20th century. This book is crafted primarily for students, mariners, and ship operators seeking foundational knowledge of maritime law, rather than an exhaustive legal treatise. It details practical principles concerning maritime contracts, torts, and jurisdiction, as well as other significant topics within the realm of admiralty law. The opening of "The Law of the Sea" sets the stage for understanding the complexities of maritime law, emphasizing its historical development alongside the necessities of navigation and commerce on water. It describes the legal framework governing maritime affairs, including jurisdictional considerations regarding vessels and navigable waters, and introduces key components such as maritime contracts and torts. The authors clarify that the intent of the book is to provide a concise and practical overview, making the principles of admiralty law accessible to those who might not have a legal background, thus guiding the reader through fundamental legal concepts and their implications for maritime activities.
