No. 7409.

247 F.2d 422 (1957)

The CURTIS BAY TOWING COMPANY, Claimant-Respondent, Appellant, v. James SADOWSKI, as owner of THE Tug MARECO, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit.

Decided August 1, 1957.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

George W. P. Whip, Baltimore, Md. (Lord, Whip & Coughlan, Baltimore, Md., on the brief), for appellant.

John D. Alexander, Baltimore, Md. (Constable, Alexander & Daneker, Baltimore, Md., on the brief), for appellee.

Before PARKER, Chief Judge, and SOPER and SOBELOFF, Circuit Judges.


SOBELOFF, Circuit Judge.

The District Court, sitting as a court of admiralty, awarded full damages to the owner of a tug damaged in a collision, despite the undisputed fact that the operation of the tug was negligent. The court held that the negligence of the Mareco, the appellee's tug, did not contribute to the collision, and that the other vessel, the appellant's tug, the Gremlin, which was undamaged, was solely at fault.
