District Court, E.D. New York June 6, 1958, No. 20077 (Tanker Hygrade No. 16, Inc. v. The Tug George H. Jackson)

BYERS, Chief Judge.

This case involves a collision between two tows proceeding in opposite directions in Newark Bay on September 6, 1951 at about 1:35 a. m. The night was dark, but' visibility was good, and weather conditions played no part in the happening; the waters were calm and if both navigators had been alert to their duties, the collision should not have occurred.
