01/19/04 Sec. 184. Apportionment of compensation
Whenever any such embezzlement, loss, or destruction is suffered
by several freighters or owners of goods, wares, merchandise, or
any property whatever, on the same voyage, and the whole value of
the vessel, and her freight for the voyage, is not sufficient to
make compensation to each of them, they shall receive compensation
from the owner of the vessel in proportion to their respective
losses; and for that purpose the freighters and owners of the
property, and the owner of the vessel, or any of them, may take the
appropriate proceedings in any court, for the purpose of
apportioning the sum for which the owner of the vessel may be
liable among the parties entitled thereto.
