1Opinion of the Court
LEAVY, Senior Circuit Judge.
In this action, the holder of a preferred ship mortgage caused a tuna fishing boat to be arrested and sold. Former crewmen then intervened to assert damage claims for unpaid wages, arguing that because no written employment agreement had been provided, they were entitled under federal statutory law to be paid at the same rate as the captain of the vessel. The district court entered summary judgment in favor of the wage claimants, and the mortgagee has appealed. We reverse and remand.1
