[BITList] no spronnicle

Hugh

it all depends on the point of view – it’s deep.

ALLISION, maritime law. The running of one vessel against another. It is distinguished from collision in this, that the latter means the running of two vessels against each other; this latter term is frequently used for allision. 

in some references ‘allision’ refers to a vessel making contact with a fixed object. 

incidentally, I have not seen ‘allision’ used outside the USA.

Colin,

But why two words for the same thing? If there is an allision between A and B, could there be a collision between B and A? Or are they both allisions, or collisions?  And how can we tell? Collision is dangerous enough for me.

Hugh.
