PART 207_NAVIGATION REGULATIONS--Table of Contents

 

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.
