CHAPTER 5 - NAVIGATION RULES FOR RED RIVER OF THE NORTH AND RIVERS

EMPTYING INTO GULF OF MEXICO AND TRIBUTARIES

The rules for preventing collisions prescribed by R.S. Sec. 4233,

as amended, formed the basis of this chapter. Those rules as

enacted were not limited in application to the navigation of any

waters. But they were superseded as to navigation on the high seas

and in all coast waters of the United States, except such as were

otherwise provided for, by the adoption of "Revised International

Regulations" by act Mar. 3, 1885, ch. 354, 23 Stat. 438; and these

regulations were superseded by the adoption of the subsequent

regulations of act Aug. 19, 1890, set out as section 61 et seq. and

section 1051 et seq. of this title. The rules prescribed by R.S.

Sec. 4233 were further superseded, as to navigation on the Great

Lakes and their connecting and tributary waters as far east as

Montreal, by the rules applying to such navigation prescribed by

act Feb. 8, 1895 (section 241 et seq. of this title). The

provisions of R.S. Secs. 4233, 4412, and 4413 and regulations

pursuant thereto were adopted as special rules for the navigation

of harbors, rivers, and inland waters of the United States (except

the Great Lakes and their connecting and tributary waters as far

east as Montreal) by act Feb. 19, 1895. R.S. Secs. 4412 and 4413

were classified to section 381 of former Title 46, Shipping. But

thereafter the rules prescribed by R.S. Sec. 4233, were further

superseded as to navigation of all harbors, rivers, and inland

waters except the Red River of the North and rivers emptying into

the Gulf of Mexico and their tributaries, by the rules applying to

all such waters other than the specific exceptions, of act June 7,

1897 (section 151 et seq. of this title). The rules prescribed by

R.S. Sec. 4233, therefore, remained in force only as to the

navigation of the Red River of the North and rivers emptying into

the Gulf of Mexico and their tributaries. See section 2001 et seq.

of this title.
