Damages for personal injuries.

2. Where loss of life or personal injuries are suffered by any person on board
a vessel owing to the fault of that vessel and of any other vessel or vessels,
the liability of the owners of the vessels shall be joint and several:

Provided that nothing in this section shall be construed as depriving any
person of any right of defence on which, independently of this section, he
might have relied in an action brought against him by the person injured, or
any person or persons entitled to sue in respect of such loss of life, or
shall affect the right of any person to limit his liability in cases to which
this section relates in the manner provided by law.
