Seller entered into a DES (Cabo San Lucas) sales contract for the shipment of a luxury automobile to Buyer. Seller arranged for shipment of the car on the SS Reluctant. When the SS Reluctant arrived at Cabo San Lucas, there was no place for it to tie up at a pier and it employed a lighter to transport the car from the ship to the pier. As the lighter was moving from the ship to the pier with the car aboard, an unexpected violent squall came up and the lighter capsized, dumping the car irretrievably into the sea. Who is responsible for the loss?

None of the above.

SS Reluctant.

Seller.

Cabo San Lucas port authority.

Buyer.
