How Many Owners Can One Boat Have
A battered 27-year-old motor boat named Rowena arrived on Portsmouth's waterfront amid a federal lien and a Coast Guard inspection revealing serious violations. Ten people, two families, cruising for scrap, sparked police scrutiny as the tug was inspected and put up for sale at 500 dollars. The buyer, Robert Bowler, found the boat belonged to a New Jersey man, Kenneth J. Dunlap of Newark, not the buyer. Officials note rapid involvement of a second lawyer and unclear ownership.

Representative Aimee Forand says Army Engineers deem Bristol's priority too low, though East Greenwich and Wickford surveys were approved this year. Harbor officials condemn the decision and urge stronger congressional pressure.
