Description
On March 31, 1942 a few minutes before 6 a.m. on a dark rainy morning off Turkey Point in the upper Chesapeake Bay the E. Madison Hall, a motor vessel of 212 gross tons, came in collision with an unlighted wreck and both the Hall and her cargo became a total loss. A libel was filed for cargo damage against the ship and her owner, and subsequently the owner filed a petition for limitation of liability under R.S. §Â§ 4281-4285, 46 U.S.C.A. §Â§ 181-185. The District Court held the vessel at fault, denied limitation of liability and gave a decree against the vessel and her owners for $32,761.99 with interest.
