JACK BOSLOUGH, APPELLANT,
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, APPELLEE
426 F.2d 304
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (1970)
Cited by 2 cases
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
Appellant brought suit for personal injuries sustained on a vessel owned by the government and operated by the Maritime Administration. He alleged the vessel was unseaworthy and the Master was negligent.
The district court, sitting without a jury, dismissed the action. We affirm.
A severe tropical storm changed its predicted course, the Master made every reasonable effort to avoid it and members of the crew met the emergency as well as possible. Appellant was injured when he slipped in a passageway as the vessel lurched in the storm.
The trial court’s conclusion that there was no negligence or unseaworthiness was well supported by the evidence.
Affirmed.
