Captains Must Renew Papers Under Local Enforcement
Local authorities at the Stone Fort enforce a Congress amended licensing rule. Several vessel commanders failed to renew licenses, with a $10 fine imposed on one offender last Saturday. The policy requires annual license renewal and surrender within three days after expiration or on the vessel’s return from sea, with changes in ownership, district, hail, rig, tonnage, or employment prompting document surrender or loss reports. Home papers for a vessel are obtainable through the custom house.
