Description
Defendant was the owner and operator of the SS Occidental Victory. Plaintiff Kirsch was a crewman on the vessel. In 1968 plaintiff was injured on board when he was struck by one Hutchison, a Third Assistant Engineer. This suit for damages was then instituted. The District Court found for plaintiff on the theory that Hutchison's presence on the ship rendered it unseaworthy. This appeal followed. Having reviewed the evidence, we conclude that it does not support the finding of unseaworthiness. We reverse.
