Assignment task:
Lozman owned a 60-foot by 12-foot floating home that contained a sitting room, bedroom, closet, bathroom, and kitchen, along with a stairway leading to a second level with office space. Unlike a houseboat, Lozman's floating home had no steering mechanism and no means of self-propulsion. Lozman kept it docked in a marina owned and operated by the city of Riviera Beach, Florida. After several unsuccessful attempts to evict Lozman from the marina, the City brought a federal admiralty lawsuit against the floating home, seeking over $3 million for dockage fees. The City argued that the floating home was a "vessel" under admiralty law because it was capable of movement over water. Carefully explain the process by which the court will decide if the floating home is a vessel.
