CLARK, Chief Judge:

This is an appeal from a judgment granting Eagle Fleet, Inc. (Eagle Fleet) a 46 U.S.C.App. § 971 lien on the M/V LIGHTNING POWER for seaman's wages.1 The basis of this judgment was the district court's fact determination that Eagle Fleet was a special rather than a general agent of the vessel's owner. We affirm the district court.
