THE “HOW-TO” ON ARRESTING A VESSEL
The Arrest of a vessel, whether she is private or commercial, is part of the process by
which a Court in Admiralty gains jurisdiction over the subject matter of a law suit. These
lawsuits are known as "in rem" actions, meaning that the action is against a thing, rather
than against a person.
Generally, the vessel, itself, is responsible for payment of liens, mortgages or any other
maritime lien that may arise. When the owner encumbers a vessel with a First Preferred
Ship's Mortgage, it is the vessel that guarantees payment, rather than the owner. However,
the owner may be personally liable if they signed a personal promise or guaranty to pay.
An arrest action is filed in Federal District Court, along with the filing fee and a $2,500
check payable to the U.S. Marshal for their services. The U.S. Marshal’s will not act on
the Judge’s Order to arrest the vessel without this payment.
An arrest of a vessel is the prerequisite for the court to establish jurisdiction. If the vessel
cannot be seized within the jurisdiction of that particular Federal District Court, then the
court may have no right to arrest the vessel. In the United States, the arrest is the physical
process by which a U.S. Marshal goes aboard the vessel and physically takes charge of
it, removing all crew, owner and guests. The Marshal posts a Notice of Arrest on the vessel.
Soon thereafter the arrest of the vessel, notice must be published in a newspaper
authorized to publish legal notices. Actual notice must be given to all other lien holders
who claim an interest in the vessel.
Once seized, the court, through the U.S. Marshal's service or substitute custodian, maintains
possession of the vessel and the owner loses all control. To avoid this situation and
its effect on commerce, the court will allow the owner to post a bond or other suitable
security for the amount of the claim plus two years of interest. Once the security is accepted,
the vessel is returned to the owner and the litigation continues with the security as the
subject of execution of judgment.
If a vessel is not released by the posting of security, the court may order an interlocutory
sale. An interlocutory sale means a sale prior to the completion of the litigation and the
entering of a judgment. As a general rule, the sale will not be allowed for four months.
The rules provide for the sale if the arrested property is perishable, liable to deterioration,
or if the cost of keeping it is excessive or disproportionate.

M A R I T I M E L A W
THE “HOW-TO” ON ARRESTING A VESSEL
When Regardless as whether the sale is interlocutory or a judgment sale, the buyer at the
auction does not have any right in the vessel, until the sale is confirmed by the court. If a
higher bid is received within three days by the court, the court has the option of voiding
the auction and ordering a new sale. Once confirmation is received, the buyer receives title
which extinguishes all other liens and provided him with a clear title. An "in rem" action
resolves claims, both nationally and internationally, against the vessel and no lien for past
debts can be created or asserted.
The proceeds of the sale are paid into the court and are used to satisfy any expenses incurred
by the keeping of the vessel and fees to the U.S. Marshal. The balance is paid to the
claimants and any balance left over is paid to the owner. Unless the plaintiff who seized
the vessel acts in bad faith, the owner of the vessel may not recover damages due to the
arrest or for loss of profits.

By Johnlee S. Curtis, Esq.* of Moore & Company, P.A.
As greater technological tools have become available for the
exploration of the sea’s surface, increasing numbers of salvors
and explorers have met with success in uncovering underwater
assets, such as historic shipwrecks and artifacts.
Naturally, with these discoveries have come disputes over
ownership. These disputes are between two groups: governments/archeologists
and salvors. In the cases that have been
decided, each of these groups uses different legal theories to
present their respective, opposing cases.
The salvors have primarily used admiralty law and filed admiralty
claims in federal courts in the United States arguing that
the law of “finds” entitles them ownership to abandoned historic
shipwrecks and their cargo. Additionally, they have
argued that salvage awards should be granted for the act of
rescuing the yachts of yore (and their booty) from “marine
peril” and returning them to the stream of commerce. The
governments/archeologists have used a variety of laws to try
to defend against the unregulated pillaging of submerged cultural
property. These laws come in two categories. First, they
have used claims of ownership rights (when they are governments
and the vessels are within their territorial waters).
Second, they have used preservation laws and permitting regulations.
A brief look at the relevant cases and legal doctrines
is illustrative of how all of these polar arguments have fared.
One landmark case, Treasure Salvors v. The Unidentified
Wrecked and Abandoned Sailing Vessel, 569 F.2d 330 (5th
Cir. 1978) (“Treasure Salvors”) held that the Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act (43 USC 1331, et seq.) only
extended United States jurisdiction to the outer continental
shelf for purposes of exploration and exploitation of its natural
resources, not for purposes of controlling salvaged abandoned
historic shipwrecks. Thus, the salvors have continued
to use maritime law to assert salvage claims to submerged cultural
property.
State governments have claimed ownership of submerged cultural
property via the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987
(“ASA”). The ASA exercises federal sovereign prerogative
over abandoned shipwrecks and transfers title to them to the
states in which the abandoned shipwrecks are resting. This
allows state governments to assert title to and manage these
abandoned shipwrecks as against salvors. However, the ASA
applies only to wrecks within three nautical miles of the
shores of U.S. states and territories, and the ASA only protects

wrecks that are “abandoned” – sometimes a difficult definition
to prove. See Deep Sea Research, Inc. v. The Brother Jonathan,
883 F. Supp. 1343 (N.D. Cal. 1995), and Columbus-America
Discovery Group v. Atlantic Mut. Ins., 974 F. 2d 450 (4th Cir.
1992). Thus, salvors can argue the distance precludes protection,
or that the wreck salved was not sufficiently abandoned.
The federal government has asserted title to submerged cultural
property through permitting regulations, and has met with
more success using this strategy. The National Marine
Sanctuary Act, 16 U.S.C. 1431, et seq. (“NMSA”) provides
that the Secretary of Commerce has the authority to manage
and designate “certain areas of the marine environment possess[ing]
conservation, recreation, ecological, historical,
research, education, or aesthetic qualities which give them special
national significance.” In Motivation, Inc. v. The
Unidentified, Wrecked and Abandoned Vessel, CITE, the U.S.
claimed that since the salvors did not obtain a permit under the
NMSA, and since such permitting would have regulated the
salvage activities and prevented damages to sanctuary
resources. The Court decided in favor of the United States and
against the salvors. Thus, the NMSA can be helpful in regulating
salvage activities - and it has a large scope, because it protects
submerged cultural property located in waters all the way
out to the 200-nautical mile “exclusive economic zone” of the
United States.
The Antiquities Act of 1906, the Archaeological Resources
Protection Act, the National Historic Preservation Act all provide
some protections of submerged cultural property, but are relatively
narrow in scope to constitute comprehensive protection.
YACHTS OF YORE:
SUBMERGED CULTURAL PROPERTY
CONTINUE TO SPARK
LEGAL BATTLES
Internationally, protection of submerged cultural property is
even less comprehensive. Many yachts of yore are open to
unlimited, unregulated plunder. The international conventions
that do exist (The Law of the Sea Convention, UNESCO conventions,
etc.) simply do not presently provide coherent coverage.
Of most recent note vis-à-vis salvage of submerged cultural
property in international waters is the ongoing case of
Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. v. Kingdom of Spain Case
No. 8:07-CV-614 (M.D. Fla., filed April 9, 2007), in which the
classic dispute that pits salvors against sovereigns is now being
waged in a Florida court. Odyssey discovered and made claim
to an historic shipwreck and its treasure in international waters
about 100 miles west of the Straits of Gibraltar. The Kingdom
of Spain laid claim to the 17-ton coin hoard of gold and silver,
demanding its return to Spain. The salvors claim ownership to
the salvaged artifacts and, in the alternative, assert claim to a
salvage award. U.S. Federal Court Magistrate Judge Mark
Pizzo recently declared that the Court lacked jurisdiction in the
case, and that the site of the treasure find is subject to sovereign
immunity. While the tide has presently turned in the direction
of the sovereign, the Court’s Judge Merryday has not yet
determined which position will ultimately prevail.
Considering the value of submerged cultural property and the
fragmented nature of the regulations applying to the salvage of
such types of property, a coherent international regulatory framework
is needed to both protect submerged cultural property and
the beneficial services provided by archeologists and salvors.

NEWPORT Charter Show Recap
The Newport Spring Charter Show , June 24-26, consisted of only 3 full
days and was moved to the Newport Yachting Center due to the fact that
the Newport Shipyard was full with many mega-yachts in port. The
weather this year was not too cooperative as it rained for the first few
days, but did not hinder much of the activities and was just a nuisance.
We all prevailed and made the best of it. The sun finally began to shine
on us the last few days of the show and the show was a success.
This year’s show included 30+ quality power and sailing yachts with
11 yachts being over 100’ and the largest being the 132’ NORTHERN
LIGHTS. Over 100 + brokers, managers, press and exhibitors were in
attendance from various parts of the country and world. The NYM
Welcome Cocktail party was held on Wednesday at 5:00 PM and then
the first Yacht Hop was hosted for yachts 90’ and over beginning at
6:30 PM, so everyone enjoyed a full evening of fabulous food and drink
aboard all participating yachts with “themed” events, from the “Super
Bowl” to “Pirates of the Caribbean”. On Thursday the second Yacht
Hop was conducted for smaller yachts and all sailing yachts and it started
off with the S/Y TITAN inviting all to a “Garden Party”.
Wednesday also hosted the Distinctive Yachts Annual Charter Chowder
Fest conducted by Jane Potter. This year it was limited to 20 yachts
and has proved to be a “grand slam” for this show. The 1st Place winning
chowder went to Chef Merrilie Insch of M/Y ESSENCE for a
Thai inspired chowder with curry and prawns. The Chef’s Competition
was held on Thursday with a local Purveyor giving the chefs who
participated a “Mystery Basket” filled with New England regional ingredients
of which were delivered to the yachts in the morning and they had
to make a dish and be judged on it. Chef Patrick Roney of M/Y
KAPALUA took 1st Place. All dishes consisted of oysters, clams,
chorizo, scallions, and a pineapple. So it was quite challenging and all
chefs were awarded their plaques at the evening award ceremony. The
event was sponsored by Newport Yacht Management, The Captain’s
Concierge and Yachting Magazine.
There were various seminar’s conducted during the 3 days of the show
to include the USSA Seminar/Captain’s Briefing, AYCA Meeting,
KVH Seminar and the American Yacht Charter Association Seminar
which was attended by 60+ brokers, managers, lawyers, magazine reps
and many more. Bob Saxon, Gary Carroll and Captain Peter Pexton
were all key speakers.
Although the show was shortened to just 3 days and at a new location
it proved to be a very successful show and we are looking forward to
seeing each and every one of you at next year’s show being held at The
Newport Yachting Center June 22-25, 2010.
Happy Chartering and see you all next year.
