The Owen J. McWilliams
The Owen J. McWilliams
Opinion of the Court
(orally). The McWilliams tow, having taken boats out of the Pennsylvania tow, and swung them around on the outside near the mouth of the Newtown creek, would seem to be the burdened vessel. \
I think that the libelant’s injury, although it happened without any actual carelessness, and purely from the inability of the captain of the McWilliams tug to estimate just how much room he should allow to the other vessel, was caused by the maneuver of the Pennsylvania tug
The libelant may have a decree.
