238.   Damage caused by non-observance of Collision Regulations

If any damage to person or property arises from the non-observance by any ship, seaplane or craft of any of the collision regulations, the damage shall be deemed to have been occasioned by the wilful default of the person in charge of the ship, seaplane or craft at the time, unless it is shown to the satisfaction of the court that the circumstances of the case made a departure from the regulations necessary.
