One Cause of Action in the Rules...

That is what Proctor Wiswall elaborated on in the Ebsworth Lecture in 1994.

Just be sure when you sign on as a seaman on the SS United States that you do so with the stipulation "Witness my hand and Seal".

This is an old source, perhaps our known historical base for maritime law.
De Jure Maritimo Et Navali: Or, A Treatise of Affairs

According to wikpedia the Romans called the moors "mauri", "Moor comes from the Greek word mauros (Greek orthography μαύρος, plural μαύροι), meaning "black" or "very dark", which in Latin became mauro (plural mauri). "
which I suspect becomes our mauritime law.

Interesting all these MR words.
