Judge rules harbormaster power limited in Mobile tug case
Judge Henry Chamberlain ruled that a harbor master may delegate authority and that captains of vessels can moor or shift ships with qualified help. The case involved Captain Lew Hogan who used the tugboat Dewn to move and moor the Italian vessel, with testimony detailing who had right to act and under what law.
