Opinion
November 18, 1942.
Appeal from Workmen's Compensation Law.
Present — Hill, P.J., Crapser, Heffernan, Schenck and Foster, JJ. [See post, p. 1019; 266 App. Div. 699.]
The only issue urged upon appeal is the issue of coverage under the policy of insurance involved. The alleged corporate employer was engaged in the business of towing and shipwright work. The policy issued covered every work place in the State of New York of all the employees of the corporation. Decedent was employed as a handy man to condition a boat known as the "Bounty," and working thereon at the time of the accident which caused his death. It is the contention of appellants that Joseph Meseck owned this boat individually and that it was not the property of the corporation or connected with the latter in any way. The State Industrial Board has found otherwise and there is evidence to sustain its finding. Award unanimously affirmed with costs to the State Industrial Board.
