VAN GRAAFEILAND, Circuit Judge:
On February 19, 1969, the M. S. Farida sailed from New York for ports in South America with a cargo which included four heavy tractors. On February 21, the vessel’s crew was forced to abandon ship because one of the tractors, weighing about 14.4 tons, had broken loose and punctured a large hole in the ship’s hull below the water line. The crew did not learn what had brought the vessel to the verge of sinking until after it had been towed to Norfolk, Virginia and placed in dry dock.
