United States Supreme Court
Roper v. United States
Argued: Oct. 12, 16, 1961. --- Decided: Nov 6, 1961
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE and Mr. Justice BLACK concur, dissenting.
For the reasons stated by Judge Sobeloff in the Court of Appeals, I believe this ship at the time of the accident was not a 'dead ship' but 'a vessel in navigation,' because it was 'being actually used as a barge, and transporting a cargo.' 282 F.2d 413, 419.
