A Carnival Corp. cruise ship was ordered held in a Texas port by a U.S. judge in a $10 million lawsuit filed by the family of a German tourist who died aboard the Costa Concordia shipwreck off the coast of Italy.
An arrest warrant was issued yesterday for the MS Carnival Triumph, a cruise liner based in Galveston, Texas, according to the lawsuit also filed yesterday in federal court in Galveston by the family of Siglinde Stumpf. The Triumph, owned by the same company that owns the Costa Concordia, provides year-round service from the Houston area to ports in the Caribbean and Mexico.
