Abstract
Prior to 1893 vessel owners attempted to limit their liability by inserting restriction clauses in bins of lading. These stipulations were recognized and upheld by the English courts, but not to so great an extent by the American courts. This attempted limitation of liability by shipowners led up to the passage of the so-called "Harter Act," February 13, 1893.
