United Boat Service Corp. v. Dailey

PER CURIAM.

The findings, amply supported by the evidence, are not “clearly erroneous.” As the judge found that the respondents’ vessels were not in peril, he correctly held that no salvage could be recovered.

Although the policy involved in payment for salvage seems to be that of encouraging human aid to ships in peril, we leave open the question whether, absent any human aid, as here, salvage may be awarded.

Affirmed.
