District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Jun 29, 2009
12 So. 3d 225 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2009)

Summary

In Post v. Robertson, 1 Johns. 24, the vessel was abandoned after performing three-fourths of her homeward voyage, was rescued by salvors and brought into port, where the cargo was sold, and the proceeds paid to the salvors and owners. It was held that this was not such a delivery of the cargo as would entitle the ship-owners to maintain an action on the charter party for full freight.
