Description
Richard F. Jenkins and Frank J. Malikowski, ship ceilers or carpenters, in the employ of Maryland Ship Ceiling Company, Inc., were made ill and suffered injuries from noxious fumes and gases as they were performing ship ceiling services in the hold of the steamship MORMACSTAR in the harbor of Baltimore, Maryland, on November 21, 1959. The ship had been loaded with hogsheads of tobacco in holds No. 1 and No. 2 on November 20, 1959 at Norfolk, Virginia. The tobacco had been previously fumigated with hydrogen cyanide by an agent of the ship owner at the terminal dock in Norfolk, and on the evening of that day she sailed, with the hatches battened down, for Baltimore, arriving the next morning. In the interval, fumes arising from the fumigation of the cargo accumulated in the holds of the vessel and caused the illness of the carpenters when they entered the holds to do their work. Jenkins and Malikowski brought the instant suit against the owners of the ship, alleging that the ship was unseaworthy and that her owner was negligent in failing to furnish a safe place for them to work. Jurisdiction was based on diversity of citizenship.
