1Opinion of the Court
BREYER, Circuit Judge.
National Expositions, Inc., the appellant, entered into a contract with Crowley Maritime Corp., the appellee, under which Crowley would transport two bargeloads of National’s carnival equipment from Maracaibo, Venezuela to Jacksonville, Florida. Crowley sent a tug and barge to pick up the equipment, but Venezuelan authorities would not allow the equipment to leave the country. The equipment stayed, the boats left, and National sued. This appeal involves National’s suit against Crowley for the return of $300,000 which it had already paid for the transport.
