Description
This is a libel in rem filed by F. W. Heldenfels, owner of the Tug Andrew and two barges, against the M/V Standella, a tank ship owned by the Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company, Ltd., of London. The libelant sought to recover damages sustained by the Bug Andrew in a collision with the M/V Standella. The collision occurred on February 6, 1938, about 2:30 in the afternoon, in the Houston-Galveston Ship Channel about ten miles below Morgans Point and about two and one-half miles above Red Fish Reef Light in Galveston Bay, an open expanse of water. At the time of the collision a fog blanketed the channel and visibility was limited to about 300 feet.
