🔍 Key Concepts

• Shipping Articles and Shipping Agreements: What do they say about discharge before the end of the voyage? • Improper discharge under U.S. law (46 CFR / 46 U.S. Code): What extra compensation is typically triggered? • Difference between earned wages (time already worked) and penalty/extra wages for wrongful discharge

💭 Think About

• First, think about how many days of pay the seaman has definitely earned by working 14 days. Then, think about what the law adds on top of that if the discharge was improper. • Ask yourself: Does the law usually give only extra pay, or is it extra pay in addition to the wages already earned? • Compare each choice to this idea: "earned wages" PLUS "statutory extra". Which options clearly combine those two elements, and which look like they might be missing one piece?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what U.S. law says about damages for wrongful or improper discharge of a seaman who signed for a voyage. • Check whether the statute mentions "one month's wages" as an additional payment in cases of improper discharge. • Be sure you distinguish between days already worked (14 days) and any extra/penalty wages awarded because the discharge was not proper.
