PER CURIAM:


1
This is an appeal from the dismissal of a suit under Rule 41(b), F.R.Civ.P., at the close of plaintiff's evidence.  Plaintiff sued in her capacity as administratrix to recover damages for the wrongful death of her husband.  The action was based on alleged negligence and unseaworthiness, and was brought under the Jones Act, 42 U.S.C.A. 688 and the general maritime law.  The matter was tried before the court without a jury.  The motion to dismiss was granted for failure of proof of negligence or unseaworthiness.  Findings of fact and conclusions of law were entered in support of the dismissal.


2
The dismissal was clearly correct.1  The burden to prove negligence or unseaworthiness was upon plaintiff.  See Bowser v. Lloyd Brasileiro Steamship Co., 5 Cir., 1969, 417 F.2d 779; and McQuiston v. Freighters and Tankers Steamship Co., 1964, 327 F.2d 746.  There was no such proof under any theory advanced.


3
Affirmed.
