WINSLOW STREET runs east from Broadway past South 3rd Street towards the Delaware River. Eight homes were built on the north side of the 300 block in 1899, in 2011 three of them, 341, 343, and 345 are still standing and occupied. In the 400 Block, sixteen homes were built in 1899, all are still standing and most are occupied as of June 2011. The Howland Croft Sons and Company textile mill, built in the 1880s, filled up the entire south side of the 400 block of Winslow Street. The mill was destroyed by fire on June 10, 2011, and three homes 409, 411, and 413 Winslow suffered smoke and water damage. Hopefully repairs can be made and the homes can be reoccupied. At the northwest corner of Broadway and Winslow Street a commercial building, 1913-1921 Broadway, was occupied for many years by a Mother's Koffee House, a wholesale tea and coffee company. This building was converted into apartments in the 1990s and is known as Winslow Court. Thanks go out to Rocco Borman for his help in editing this web-page. |

We were neighbors on Winslow Street, great friends with the whole family, Nancy and Al, Ronnies parents, brother Louis and sister Regetta. Al gave us our first train set for Christmas to run under the tree but the Lionel set was too big so we built a platform to run it around we still have that set today, it's made of metal the engine alone must weigh about 6 to 8 pounds alone. Ronnie was a terrific guy like his whole family was, he will be missed very much. RIP RON Rocco

TUCKER STEVEDORING CO. v. SOUTHWARK MFG. CO.24 F.2d 410 (1928)
TUCKER
STEVEDORING CO.
No. 3745.Circuit Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.February 20, 1928.
Willard M. Harris, of Philadelphia, Pa., for
appellant.
Acker, Manning & Brown, of Philadelphia, Pa.
(Everett H. Brown, Jr., of Philadelphia, Pa., of counsel), for
appellee.
Before BUFFINGTON, WOOLLEY, and DAVIS, Circuit
Judges.
BUFFINGTON, Circuit Judge.
Libelant, the Southwark Manufacturing Company, a
user in its business of imported chalk, had its works and wharf at
Camden, on the Delaware river, opposite Philadelphia; the respondent
was a lighterage company. For some years, in pursuance of a contract
embodied in letters exchanged between the parties for "lighterage
and discharging," the lighterage company furnished lighters and
towed the Southwark's chalk, arriving at the port of Philadelphia from
abroad, and discharged the same at the Southwark's Dock in Camden. The
lighterage company, on November 26 and 27, 1923, received from the
steamship Verentia, lying at Philadelphia, 500 tons of Southwark's
chalk on board the scow Katie, which it had furnished under such
contract. Loading ended about noon of the 27th, after which the Katie
was towed to the Southwark's wharf. She laid there until about 10 that
night, when her master found she was listing from leaking. She
continued to leak, and sank that night, and the chalk proved a total
loss. The Katie's age and condition were such that she was abandoned.
Thereupon Southwark filed this libel in personam against the
lighterage company, alleging the loss and leakage was caused by the
unseaworthiness of the Katie. The lighterage company in defense raised
three questions, viz.: First, the Katie was seaworthy; second, her
leaking was due to the fact that a spike in Southwark's wharf below
water level caused it; and, third, that in any event it had never
contracted the Katie was seaworthy, and consequently could limit its
liability. On all these issues the court found against the lighterage
company. Thereupon this appeal was taken, and the same questions are
here involved.
On the two questions of fact, viz. that the Katie
was unseaworthy and that the leakage and loss were due to that, and
not to a nail or projection from libelant's wharf, we agree with the
finding of the trial judge. Turning to the third question, we note
that the contract here involved was for "the lighterage and
discharging; we, to take the chalk, delivered to us in our barges,
from alongside of steamers as per your request, and unload it from the
barges into your small cars on the dock at Camden, N. J." The
contract contained no stipulation that the barges were to be
seaworthy, so the question is: Was there an implied contract of
lighter seaworthiness, which the law writes into this contract for
lighterage service? The present contract being for lighterage, we
think there was an implied contract that the lighters would be
seaworthy. In that regard we agree with the holding of The Loyal (C.
C. A.) 204 F. 931, where it was said: "The vessel owner had a
written contract with the cargo owner for lighterage services covering
an extended period. This lighterage contract implied an obligation
that the lighters to be furnished under it should be seaworthy. * * *
The implied contract that the lighter was seaworthy, attached to the *
* * contract, was, in our opinion, just as much the personal contract
of the vessel owner as the express contract itself. It was precisely
as if written in the contract."
Such being the case, and the contract in hand
having imported into it a stipulation for seaworthiness, and thereby
made the personal contract of the lighterage company, we agree with
the reasoning of the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit in
the foregoing case, and that of the Sixth Circuit in Great Lakes
Towing Co. v. Mill Transp. Co., 155 F. 11, 22 L. R. A. (N. S.) 769,
where it is said: "It seems to us altogether unlikely
