Reseña

There was something reassuringly positive about that ancient phrase found in charter parties which required the chartered vessel to “proceed with utmost despatch and without deviation” to her eventual destination.

There could be no equivocation or doubt in the master’s mind; he was called upon to ensure that the ship went like the clappers, to make her number at the arrival port, just as soon as wind, weather and the ingenuity of the engineering staff permitted.
