The widow of Thomas L. Moore, who drowned when a fishing boat and ship collided in the Mississippi Sound, has filed a federal lawsuit against the owners of both vessels.
Beverly Ann Moore is suing Omega Protein Inc., owner of the fishing boat Sandy Point, and Eurus London LLC and Great White Fleet Ltd., owner and/or operators of the Eurus London container ship. She claims all three companies were negligent in operating the vessels, and that the Sandy Point was “unseaworthy.”
The lawsuit was filed less than one week after the May 18 accident south of Gulfport. The Coast Guard is investigating the accident.
Thomas Moore was one of three crew members trapped aboard the Sandy Point.
The defendants have not yet responded to the lawsuit.
