Opinion
PER CURIAM:
The Supreme Court of the United States in Reed v. The YAKA, 373 U.S. 410 , 83 S.Ct. 1349 , 10 L.Ed.2d 448 (1963), found in effect that the bareboat charter made the stevedore employer the owner of the boat for the duration of the bareboat charter. It held the stevedore employee could maintain a libel in rem against the vessel for injuries resulting from the unseaworthiness of the vessel, and that the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 901-950 , did not provide an exclusive remedy.
We find the facts of this case undistinguishable.
The District Court made the following Finding of Fact No. 20:
We concur, and affirm on this issue.
Affirmed.
