White Star Towing Co. v. Reed
Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
Appeal from decree of district court, southern district of New York, holding the tug J. J. Driscoll and steamship Concho both responsible for damages sustained by the schooner William Johnson (in tow of the J. J. Driscoll on a hawser) from collision with the Concho, between Covernor’s Island and the Battery, March 1, 1893. See 58 Fed. 811.
1Per curiam
The questions presented are entirely questions of fact, and the evidence is extremely conflicting. Upon examination of the record we see no reason to reverse the finding of the district judge that the collision would not have happened had either the tug or the steamship taken “more timely and efficient measures to avoid each other.” Decree of district court affirmed, with interest, and half costs to the Johnson against each steam vessel.
