Armstrong had shipped 1,705 rolls of floor covering to Japan. Each roll was 6 feet long and contained 60 square yards of material wrapped around a hollow cardboard roll and wrapped in brown paper and burlap. The rolls were packed and sealed in thirteen containers at Armstrongs factory. The bill of lading stated the

number of rolls and their weights and measurements, but no value. The containers were lost at sea under circumstances where the carrier was held liable. Armstrong claimed damages in excess of $350,000 for the value of the merchandise. The carrier

claimed it was liable for only $6,500 ($500 13 containers).

Suppose you were the judge, what would be your decision ,and reasoning.
