  June 11. VISCOUNT DUNEDIN. My Lords, the story of the collision which is the origin of this case can be told in a very few words, though the case itself has given rise to a sharp difference of opinion. The ship of the appellants, the Australia, was proceeding up the Scheldt, on January 20, 1923, to Antwerp. The ship of the respondents, the Nautilus, was coming down. It was 8 P.M., and consequently dark. The Scheldt at the place in question forms a sharp turn which may be conveniently likened to the curve of a fish book when laid on

• Owners Of SS Artemisia v Owners Of SS Douglas (Note)

  24 Jul 1925 [1927] AC 164, HL

  Hill J., after taking advice from the Elder Brethren, held that the Douglas was alone to blame for the collision. The Court of Appeal (Bankes, Atkin and Sargant L.JJ.), on the advice of their assessors, held (1.) that the Artemisia ought to have stopped and reversed her engines sooner than she did, and (2.) that the master of the Douglas, believing that the Artemisia was stationary, was not guilty of negligence in crossing ahead of the Artemisia, as he would naturally conclude that the Artemisia would make room for the vessel coming out of the dock.
