Steamship firm not liable in Eastland disaster ruling
Federal appeals court upholds lower court decision finding the St Joseph Chicago Steamship Co. not liable for the Eastland sinking deaths. The court says liability extends only to the vessel value and that seaworthiness and precautions were proper, fault lies with an engineer who failed to fill ballast tanks. The Eastland was raised, renamed Wilmette, and used as a government training vessel on Lake Michigan.
