Lake Elmont, 711 Wisconsin Bridge, 711

Although the amount of a salvage award is a question of fact, where the finding of the lower court is based on some erroneous principle of law or plainly and manifestly inadequate, the appellate court will review and modify the award. Santa Barbara (Salvage), 805 Although the appellate judges in a salvage case might, if they had sat as trial judges, have reached a conclusion different from the one arrived at by the trial court, the award of the trial court will not be disturbed unless some principle of law has been violated or there has been plain error in fixing the amount of the award. Naiwa, 1432

Interest upon a salvage award may be given or withheld at the discretion of the court; the action of the trial court is subject to review in the same way as in regard to the award itself. Naiwa, 1432
