Description
[52 Wash2d Page 350] In the summer of 1955, the plaintiffs contracted with the Alaska Towing Company for the transportation [52 Wash2d Page 351]
of certain heavy construction equipment from Ketchikan, Alaska, to Seattle, for a flat charge of twenty-five hundred dollars.
The Alaska Towing Company rented a Wrangell Lumber Company's barge to carry the equipment. It beached the barge about three
miles south of Ketchikan, where the plaintiffs conducted their own loading operation at low tide. The Alaska Towing Company
then towed the barge to Seattle and tied it up in or near the Drummond Lighterage Company's Duwamish river basin. It was then
the plaintiffs' responsibility to unload the barge, and for that purpose they rented wharf and gridiron space from the Drummond
Lighterage Company.
