Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit May 9, 1985, 84-3935 (Marilyn E. Berg, Personal Representative of the Estate of Ogie Berg v. Chevron U.S.A., Incorporated)

OPINION

*

EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Circuit Judge:

This appeal arises from a claim of negligence brought by the estate of the owner of a vessel in distress against the vessel that attempted a rescue. We examine the standard of care owed by the rescuer and the findings made by the trial court. The sequence of events is significant and is set out in some detail.
