1Per curiam
In an interlocutory judgment as to liability, the district court found that both the Tug William E. Voyce, Jr., and the SS Calmar were at fault when they collided in the Brewerton Channel, Eastern Extension, of the Chesapeake Bay on February 6, 1972. Of course, the district court did not assess damages; but it, nevertheless, stated that in accordance with The Catharine v. Dickinson, 58 U.S. (17 How.) 170, 177, 15 L.Ed. 233 (1855), the present law would require the assessment of one-half of the total damages against each vessel. See also, Halcyon Lines v.
