Court of Appeals for the First Circuit March 27, 1992, 90-1957 (Rocco P. Digiovanni, Jr. v. Traylor Brothers, Inc.)

OPINION EN BANC

BAILEY ALDRICH, Senior Circuit Judge.

Defendant petitions for rehearing on the single issue of Jones Act recovery, renewing its claim that plaintiff, a member of the carpenter’s union, is not a seaman, and the barge, the BETTY F, was not to be regarded as a vessel, particularly in light of a number of recent cases, notably in the Fifth Circuit.
