A good compilation of cases from which to learn admiralty law. There is a lack of editorial commentary (for those who seek to teach themselves the subject). The book lets the cases do the teaching. Overall, the book is a good survey of important admiralty decisions, but if you seek a reference guide for practice, look elsewhere. If you wish to become a true student of the practice, then read from cover to cover (which is mostly cases).

Page 14 - And they constitute navigable waters of the United States within the meaning of the acts of Congress, in contradistinction from the navigable waters of the States, when they form in their ordinary condition by themselves, or by uniting with other waters, a continued highway over which commerce is or may be carried on with other States or foreign countries in the customary modes in which such commerce is conducted by water.
