Sec. 207.610  St. Lawrence River, Cape Vincent Harbor, N.Y.; use, administration, and navigation of the harbor and U.S. breakwater.

    (a)-(c) [Reserved]
    (d) Vessels shall observe the following rule in mooring to the 
breakwater: The first self-propelled vessel stopping at the harbor for 
shelter will proceed to the upstream end of the breakwater and moor 
along either side of it. All similar vessels entering later will place 
themselves in a compact position close to those preceding them. 
Passenger vessels will, in general, have preference as to location of 
moorage. Sailing craft will so locate themselves that they will not lie 
in the way of other vessels entering the harbor. All vessels of every 
description will place themselves so as not to interfere with any work 
of reconstruction or repair that may be in progress at the time.
    (e) The use of chains in making fast to the breakwater is 
prohibited. Lines

must be attached to the snubbing posts only, and outboard anchors taken 
in.
    (f) Vessels with other craft in tow will, if practicable, at once, 
moor them compactly along the breakwater, either taking in the towlines 
or placing the slack in them upon the breakwater in such a manner as not 
to interfere with other vessels. If necessary to moor alongside of other 
vessels moored to the breakwater, the towlines shall be taken in or 
disposed of in such a manner as not to interfere with the departure of 
vessels moored between them and the breakwater.
    (g) Vessels of every description mooring to the breakwater, must 
place suitable fenders between themselves and the breakwater to protect 
the timber walings on the breakwater from damage.
    (h) The unloading of freight of any class upon the breakwater is 
expressly prohibited, except in accordance with special permission from 
the said District Engineer or his representative.
    (i) Each and every vessel made fast to the breakwater, or anchored 
in the harbor without a line made fast to the shore or shore dock, must 
have at least one experienced person upon it during the entire time said 
vessel is thus moored in the harbor.
