Summary/Abstract: The term ''vessel seaworthy'' refers to the condition of a ship, not to whether the carrier execised due diligence. The importance of the ''reasonably prudent carrier'' standard is that if he knew of a particular incapacity of the ship for navigation, he had to take certain steps and correct that incapacity (unseaworthiness).
