18 U.S.C. § 2279 — Boarding vessels before arrival

Page 559 TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE § 2280 § 2278. Explosives on vessels carrying steerage passengers Whoever, being the master of a steamship or other vessel referred to in section 151 of Title 46, except as otherwise expressly provided by law, takes, carries, or has on board of any such vessel any nitroglycerin, dynamite, or any other explo- sive article or compound, or any vitriol or like acids, or gunpowder, except for the ship’s use, or any article or number of articles, whether as a cargo or ballast, which, by reason of the nature or quantity or mode of storage thereof, shall, ei- ther singly or collectively, be likely to endanger the health or lives of the passengers or the safe- ty of the vessel, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 805; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Based on section 171 of title 46, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Ship- ping (Aug. 2, 1882, ch. 374, § 8, 22 Stat. 189). Words ‘‘except as otherwise expressly provided by law’’ were inserted to remove obvious inconsistency be- tween sections 831–835 of this title, section 170 of title 46, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Shipping, and this section. Words ‘‘shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and’’ were omitted because designation of the offense as a misdemeanor is unnecessary in view of definitive section 1 of this title. Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative. Minor changes were made in phraseology. Editorial Notes REFERENCES IN TEXT Section 151 of Title 46, referred to in text, which was based on section 1 of act Aug. 2, 1882, ch. 374, 22 Stat. 186, was repealed by Pub. L. 98–89, Aug. 26, 1983, § 4(b),
