ABSTRACT
At the 1864 York Conference, principle was preferred to practical convenience, with the result that the Glasgow Resolution was reversed and a paragraph was added to affirm the established practice of allowing damage caused by water going down the hatches during a jettison. At the 1890 Liverpool Conference it was decided to broaden the 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. Damage done by breakage or chafing, or otherwise from derangement of stowage consequent upon a jettison, shall be made good as general average. At the 1877 Antwerp Conference the two paragraphs in the 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".
