Description

This is an appeal from a decree dismissing, on exceptions, a libel in personam which sought to hold a shipowner liable for negligently causing the death in 1929 of a longshoreman while he and other longshoremen were engaged, under the direction of their employer, the stevedore, in loading freight in the hold of the owners ship while she was lying in Savannah harbor. The libel was brought under the Georgia Death Statute by the administrator for the benefit of an adult dependent sister of the deceased. Ga. Civ. Code 4424, as amended in 1924 (Laws 1924, p. 60).
