Holding

The court held that the plaintiff’s action, which sought either specific performance of an option contract for the sale of a vessel or recovery of its sale proceeds, failed to state a valid cause of action because the complaint did not plead the essential elements for specific performance nor adequately allege a claim for damages at law.
