1Opinion of the Court
COLEMAN, Circuit Judge.
As the result of a suit charging unseaworthiness, Ison H. Dillon was awarded judgment against the M. S. ORIENTAL INVENTOR, and its owner, for personal injuries allegedly sustained while working aboard the ship as a longshoreman. We affirm the judgment of the District Court.
Dillon and his fellow longshoreman, Donald Harrison Lewis, were the witnesses to the injury. Their credibility is heavily attacked on appeal. We cannot sustain the attack. Except as to testimony which is inherently incredible, the Courts of Appeal do not substitute their judgment for that of the trial…
