MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 10

Evidence on first registry.

10.(1) On the first registry of a ship the following evidence shall be
produced in addition to the declaration of ownership:

(a)In the case of a British-built ship, a builder's certificate, that is to
say, a certificate signed by the builder of the ship, and containing a true
account of the proper denomination and of the tonnage of the ship, as
estimated by him, and of the time when and the place where she was built, and
of the name of the person (if any) on whose account the ship was built, and if
there has been any sale, the bill of sale under which the ship, or a share
therein, has become vested in the applicant for registry:

(b)In the case of a foreign-built ship, the same evidence as in the case of a
British-built ship, unless the declarant who makes the declaration of
ownership declares that the time and place of her building are unknown to him,
or that the builder's certificate cannot be procured, in which case there
shall be required only the bill of sale under which the ship, or a share
therein, became vested in the applicant for registry:

(c)In the case of a ship condemned by any competent court, an official copy of
the condemnation.

(2) The builder shall grant the certificate required by this section, and such
person as the Commissioners of Customs recognise as carrying on the business
of the builder of a ship, shall be included, for the purposes of this section,
in the expression "builder of the ship".

(3) If the person granting a builder's certificate under this section wilfully
makes a false statement in that certificate he shall for each offence be
liable to a fine not exceeding [#500].
