6. Restraint of Princes. — The contract usually contains a pro- vision exempting the shipowner from liability for damage due to " restraint of princes." This quaint phrase means any kind of governmental action which interrupts the voyage, or otherwise prevents the performance of the contract. These restraints occur most often during war, although they may happen in time of peace, as in the case of detention in quarantine. If the restraint results from some action taken by the shipowner, such as... the taking on of contraband goods, the clause will not relieve him from liability. A simple illustration of the restraint of princes clause appears in Allanwilde Transport Corp. v. Vacuum Co., 248 U. S. 377, where a sailing vessel, the Allanwilde, was chartered to the libel- ants for the transportation of a cargo of oil and nails to Roche- fort, France. The freight was prepaid. She started on the voy- age and while she was at sea the government prohibited sailing vessels departing from the United States on voyages which would carry them through the war zone.
