Creole steamer case awards SP damages of 263500
In the suit brought by Southern Pacific against Fore River Shipbuilding, auditor H. E. Warner awards SP damages of 263500 for breach of guaranty on the Creole steamer. The dispute stems from substituting Curtis turbines for reciprocating engines and failing to meet 16 knot speed with coal consumption under seven tons per hour. The award covers the cost to install the original reciprocating engines per contract.
