MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 126



126.(1) A seaman shall not be entitled to the rating of A.B., that is to say,
of an able-bodied seaman, unless he has served at sea for [three years before
the mast], but the employment of fishermen in decked fishing vessels
registered under the first part of this Act shall only count as sea service up
to the period of [two years of that employment]; and the rating of A.B. shall
only be granted after at least one year's sea service in a trading vessel in
addition to [two or more years' sea service] on board of decked fishing
vessels so registered.

(2) The service may be proved by certificates of discharge, by a certificate
of service from the Registrar-General of Shipping and Seamen (granted by the
Registrar on payment of a fee ...), specifying in each case whether the
service was rendered in whole or in part in steam ship or in sailing ship, or
by other satisfactory proof.]
