1Opinion of the Court
J. SKELLY WRIGHT, District Judge.
Libellant in this case is a shipper who seeks to recover for damage to a shipment consisting of one boxed tractor and two tractor wheels. The damage occurred on October 13, 1953 while the tractor was being loaded on the respondent carrier’s vessel. Owing to a defect in the ship’s tackle, the tractor was dropped some forty feet into the lower hold. In its stipulation of facts the carrier admits liability for the resulting damage. The only question is whether that liability is limited to $500 for this single package. The full damages suffered were $2,961.16.
