1Opinion of the Court
ROSE, District Judge.
In 1905,. the steamship “Virginia” was built at Wilmington, Del., for the Baltimore Steam Packet Company, at a cost of nearly $320,000. Improvements were afterwards made to her, so that in the spring of 1919 she stood on her owner’s books at $370,000. Her market value was then much greater. Many years before tiie packet company became a part of the Seaboard Air Dine Railroad. When the government took over the latter, its vessels went along with the rest of its property, and were operated by the federal Director General of Railroads.
