ABSTRACT
Loss of or damage to the property involved in the common maritime adventure by or in consequence of a sacrifice made for the common safety, and by water which goes down a ship's hatches opened or other opening made for purpose of making a jettison for common safety, shall be made good as general average. Both the text and title were changed, so as to read: "RULE II. At the 1877 Antwerp Conference the two paragraphs in Rule were brought into line by adding at the end of the second paragraph the phrase "in case the loss by jettison is so made good". At the 1890 Liverpool Conference it was decided to broaden Rule so as to bring within its framework not only damage sustained to cargo in consequence of an act of jettison, but also damage, both to ship and cargo, caused by any other sacrifice made for the common safety or consequential upon such a sacrifice being made.
