REGISTRY OF VESSELS, legal term applied to the record of United States merchant snips engaged in foreign trade, kept in the customs office of their home port. Ships engaged in coastwise or home trade are "enrolled," the terms "register" and "enrolment8 being used to distinguish the two classes of vessels. The ship receives a registry certificate giving her home port, date of construction, name of owner, measurements and tonnage, her official number and signal letters.
Marshall Aid gave an immense impetus to the work but Dutch brains and brawn are in greater measure responsible for the resurrection of a murdered and mangled port. The Nazis left this port seemingly a tomb of human endeavor, wrecking virtually all port equipment and installations.

Wharves, warehouses, drydocks, all the intricate mechanisms and structures that make a world-serving port—for this has long been one of the greatest ports anywhere—are again abundantly evident.
