Honduran liquor ship towed to Mobile after seizure findings
Seven crewmen of the Honduran schooner Jose Lata were discharged after a hearing. The vessel and cargo of about 1 000 cases of alcohol were expected to be released. The government argued the ship strayed off course, anchored near shore, and missing cargo supported violation of consular rules. This was the first Honduran flag seizure in Gulf rum warfare, differing from prior British vessel seizures under a treaty with England.
