SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 25 – On the question of
who was insuring a ship in the
1940s, Cosmopolitan Shipping
Co. in 2017 sued Continental
Insurance Company.
On August 25 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lorna G. Schofield held
an evidentiary hearing. Inner
City Press covered
it.
There was
examination and
cross-examination, then
re-direct, of "insurance
archeologist" Alan Jervis,
about 1946 insurance involving
the "United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation
Administration... an
international relief agency,
largely dominated by the
United States but representing
44 nations. Founded in 1943,
it became part of the United
Nations in 1945, and it
largely shut down operations
in 1947."
Some of the
documents go back even
further. Archeology indeed.
The case is
Cosmopolitan Shipping Co.,
Inc. v. Continental Insurance
Company, 18-cv-3167
(Schofield)
