Leelanaw Indemnity Claim Eyed Like Frye Case
No amount is stated in the indemnity application as data is awaited from the ship’s owners. The claim mirrors the William P. Frye sunk by the German cruiser Prinz Eit Friedrich. Indemnity rests on a 1828 Prussia treaty prohibiting ship destruction. Germany’s refusal to settle suggests the case may go to a prize court, though the U S would ignore such a decision.
