The Harter Act And Its Limitations, I. L. Evans
Michigan Law Review
Prior to 1893 vessel owners attempted to limit their liability by inserting restriction clauses in bins of lading.

This attempted limitation of liability by shipowners led up to the passage of the so-called "Harter Act," February 13, 1893.

One is the existence of the constitutional provision conferring on Congress power to regulate such commerce; the other, the circumstance that such commerce is commonly carried on rather by corporations than by individuals.
