District Court, D. Massachusetts February 17, 1949, Civ. A. No. 6675; In Admiralty No. 1491 (Godbout v. Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc.)

SWEENEY, Chief Judge.

In these two actions the plaintiff has sued both the United States, as the owner of the S.S. Claymont Victory, and the Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc., as operating agent, for damages arising out of an injury which occurred while the plaintiff was employed as a member of the crew. The injury did not occur aboard the vessel and had no connection with the plaintiff’s employment.
