MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT 1894 - SECT 55

55.(1) Where by reason of infancy, lunacy, or any other cause any person
interested in any ship, or any share therein, is incapable of making any
declaration or doing anything required or permitted by this Act to be made or
done in connexion with the registry of the ship or share, the guardian or
committee, if any, of that person, or, if there is none, any person appointed
on application made on behalf of the incapable person, or of any other person
interested, by any court or judge having jurisdiction in respect of the
property of incapable persons, may make such declaration, or a declaration as
nearly corresponding thereto as circumstances permit, and do such act or thing
in the name and on behalf of the incapable person; and all acts done by the
substitute shall be as effectual as if done by the person for whom he is
substituted.

(2) The Trustee Act, 1850, and the Acts amending the same, shall, so far as
regards the court exercising jurisdiction in lunacy in Ireland, apply to
shares in ships registered under this Act as if they were stock as defined by
that Act.
