1Opinion of the Court
CARTER, Judge:
Plaintiff, Gulf Craft, Inc., brought this action against Stagg Marine, Inc. and Ou-bre Industries, Inc. for alleged damages to Hull No. 256, a vessel under construction, while the hull was in tow.
Gulf Craft had contracted with Stagg Marine to tow Hull No. 256 from Simmes-port to Patterson. Rather than performing the service itself, Stagg, unbeknownst to Gulf Craft, Inc., engaged Oubre Industries to conduct the tow. The hull was towed on the Atchafalaya River from Simmesport to Patterson by the M/V Captain Troy, a tug boat owned and operated by Oubre Industries.
