417 S.E.2d 557

Wolfgang KONRAD, Appellant v. SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC AND GAS COMPANY and Daniel E. Henderson, Executor of the Estate of George F. Carnes, Respondents.

Supreme Court of South Carolina.

Decided April 13, 1992.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Herbert W. Louthian, Sr., Columbia, for appellant.

William B. Harvey, III, Harvey & Battey, and A. Parker Barnes, Jr., Barnes Law Firm, Beaufort, for respondents.

Heard Feb. 19, 1992.

Decided April 13, 1992.

TOAL, Justice:

This is an appeal from an order granting summary judgment in favor of both respondents. The issue is whether the trial court erred in applying the three-year federal maritime statute of limitations to injuries arising from the collision of a mast of a sailboat and a transmission line on navigable waters. We hold that federal maritime law applies, and we therefore affirm.
