Description

This is an action to recover damages to the plaintiff's tugboat ""Seguin,"" through collision with an alleged hidden underwater obstruction, in the draw channel of the Richmond-Dresden Bridge. The jury in the Superior Court for Kennebec County returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $5,200.00. The case now comes before the Law Court on the State's exceptions to a portion of the charge, and on general motion by the State for a new trial. The action was brought by virtue of a legislative resolve, whereby the State waived its immunity to suit, and authorized an action at law with the ""liabilities of the parties the same as the liabilities between individuals."" Resolves of 1945, Chapter 12. It fairly appears that on the morning of June 18, 1940 the tug ""Seguin"" left Bath for Augusta, having in tow the barge ""Bast."" The tug was on the starboard quarter of the barge, and fastened to the barge by tow line, backing line, and breast lines. The breadth of the ""Seguin"" was about 20 feet and its length 80 feet. The registered breadth of the ""Bast"" was 35.6 feet and its length 170 feet. The barge was loaded with about 650 tons of soft coal.
