The Dockside Cargo Claim

≈ 6 min

A consignment of goods bound for Rotterdam was damaged when a warehouse roof partially collapsed during a storm on 14 March 1923. Fenwick & Greer Ltd. have filed a loss-claim schedule with the Atlantic & Colonial Marine Insurance Co., itemising six categories of damaged goods and their declared values. The insurer's adjuster has assembled four cross-reference records — a landing manifest, a survey report, a rate invoice, and a trade register — to verify the claim. Your task is to determine whether any line on the schedule contradicts the supporting records, and if so, which record reveals the discrepancy.
