Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an abstract of the laws of New York State, and the Corporation ordinances, relating to vessels, wharves, piers, slips, basins, wrecks, and salvage. It contains the substance of the statutes, and the very language of the law, particularly the penal clauses. Masters and owners of vessels frequenting the port of New York will find this book invaluable, as it will allow them to understand the laws and their rights when they approach and lay at our wharves. This knowledge is particularly important since the passage of the Municipal Police Bill, whose officers are scattered over our wharves and ready to enforce the ordinances, and punish those who violate them. The author's attention to matters in the Maritime Law, such as hypothecation of vessels by mortgage, bottomry, and respondentia bonds, recovery of damages for injuries done to vessels by collision, and marine protests in cases of partial or total loss, make this book a useful resource for those dealing with maritime matters.
