Boat owners file lawsuit to limit liability. Maritime law.
Same law used against passengers families who died on Titanic.

Sets a deadline to file claims at six months from today.

owner of boat may try to sneak out of liability...but boats captain is screwed .
i watched a thing on a sister boat where investigators tried to escape and find a way out.
wow those boats are dangerous, not kidding. who signed off on their licensing for cattle car set up and death trap
marine company that built them may be liable as well.
