Sealing Bill Debated in House on March Sailing Dates and Second Trip
Members debated a Sealing Bill to ban immature seal harvests and limit steamers to a later March sailing. Provisions shifted penalties from crews to owners, ended the second trip, and set a 12th March sail date with northern ports possibly at 13th. Debate highlighted economic reliance on steamers and regional port impacts amid ice and climate changes.
