Opinion
The judgment of the trial court is based principally on a resolution of issues of fact. The finding of gross fault on the part of appellant’s vessel is practically conceded. Under such circumstances, we agree with the trial court that the several technical or minor faults charged against the ferry Crescent, if proved, should not prevent “condemning the more culpable vessel completely”. Compañía De Maderas De Caibarien, S.A. v. Queenston Heights (C.A.5, 1955) 220 F.2d 120.
The judgment is affirmed.
