🔍 Key Concepts

• Desertion vs. other misconduct (like insubordination, neglect of duty, or revolt) • What happens to a seaman’s earned wages and property when they desert • Which penalties (fines, jail, credential action) are usually tied to criminal offenses rather than desertion alone

💭 Think About

• Look at which options focus on money and property/wages and which focus on criminal punishment (fines/jail). Which fits desertion specifically? • Ask yourself: Is desertion usually handled more like a disciplinary/contract issue (affecting wages and property) or like a criminal act with jail and big fines? • Compare the answers and see which one best matches the idea of walking away from your contract and obligations rather than committing a violent or dangerous act.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices mention forfeiture of wages and/or property left on board—that’s central to desertion penalties in traditional maritime law. • Check whether imprisonment or credential revocation are commonly listed as the primary statutory penalty for desertion in your study materials. • Verify in your notes or textbook how desertion is defined and what immediate financial consequence is emphasized for the seaman.
