MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 48

48.(1) When a registered ship is so altered as not to correspond with the
particulars relating to her tonnage or description contained in the register
book, then, if the alteration is made at any port having a registrar, that
registrar, or, if it is made elsewhere, the registrar of the first port having
a registrar at which the ship arrives after the alteration, shall, on
application being made to him, and on receipt of a certificate from the proper
surveyor stating the particulars of the alteration, either cause the
alteration to be registered, or direct that the ship be registered anew.

[(2) If default is made in registering anew a ship, or in registering an
alteration of a ship so altered as aforesaid, the owner of the ship shall be
liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding [two hundred pounds],
and, in addition, to a fine not exceeding [twenty pounds] for every day during
