🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for handling a seaman’s wages and property after desertion or death • Master’s duty to safeguard and account for a crewmember’s effects, not personally profit from them • The role of the Official Logbook in recording disciplinary events like desertion

💭 Think About

• Which option best shows the Master protecting the seaman’s interests and creating a clear paper trail for later claims? • Which choices would clearly conflict with the idea that the Master must not personally benefit and must be able to account for the property if the seaman or heirs later appear? • In practice, how are important events such as desertion and disposition of property normally documented on board?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which choice involves a formal record such as the Official Logbook or court, instead of an informal or welfare-related fund. • Eliminate any option where the property is used for crew benefit or charity, as that can create a conflict with the owner’s or seaman’s rights. • Consider what 46 CFR would likely require the Master to do at the end of the voyage so the seaman (or their estate) can still claim the property or its value.
