Facts
D was required to load the containers in a manner fit for ocean carriage. After loading was completed in Portland, the containers were trucked to Seattle, placed on P's vessel, and shipped to Japan. During the voyage, the reels shifted and moved, damaging the cargo containers. P sued D under maritime jurisdiction for a breach of a maritime contract and a tort. D claims there was no admiralty jurisdiction and the case could be tried to a jury.
