Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit April 6, 1965, No. 251, Docket 29110 (United States v. S.S. Lucie Schulte)

FRIENDLY, Circuit Judge.

This libel, tried on a stipulation of facts and exhibits before the late Judge Dawson, 227 F.Supp. 583 (1964), raises questions, seemingly not yet settled by authority, on the old subject of maritime liens.

On two occasions in 1957, Schulte & Bruns, a German partnership owning the Lucie Schulte, time-chartered her to Three Bays Corporation, Ltd. of Nassau, Bahamas.
