 PROCLAMATIONS, 1913. 1977 RULE II.—.For measuring the gross tonnage of laden ships. _ Sec. 7. When ships have cargo on board, or when for ant; other reason their ton- Rulefcrthemsnsuronag; can not be ascertained by means of Rule I, roceed in e following manner: m°'“ °' mm “’°°°‘S- easure the length on the uppermost full-leng& deck from the outside of the outer plank at the stem to the aft side of the sternppgt, deducting therefrom the distance between the aft side of the sternpost and the rab t of the stempost at the point where the counterplank crosses it. Measure also the greatest breadth of the ship to the outside of the outer planking or wales at the middle perpendicular. Then, having first marked on the outside of the ship on both sides thereof the height of the uppermost fulllength deck at the sh.ip’s sides, girt the  at the middle perpendicular in a direction perpendicular to the keel from the heig tso marked on the outside of the ship, on the one side, to the height so marked on the other side, b passing a chain under the keel; to half the girth thus taken add half the main breadth; square the sum, multiply the result by the length of the ship taken as aforesaid, then multiply this product by the factor 0.17 in the case of  built of wood, and by the factor 0.18 in the case of ships built of iron or steel. he product will give approximatel the cubical contents o the ship, and the tonnage can be ascertamed by dividing hy 100 or by 2.83, according as the measurements are taken in English feet or in meters. Sec. 8. If there be a hreak, a poop, or other permanently covered and closod·in Spaces (as defined above 1Il Article I I) on or above the uppermost full-le vth deck, _ e tonnage of such spaces shall be ascertained by multiplying togetherntahe mean mside length, breadth, and depth of such spaces and dividing the product by 100, or 2.83, according as the measurements are taken in English feet or meters, and the quotient so obtained shall be deemed to be the tonnage of the spaces, and shall be added to the other tonnage in order to determine the gross tonnage or total capacity of the ship RULE III.—For nwasurenwnt of open vessels. Sec. 9. In ascertaining the tonnage of open ships, the u r edge oi the u r R¤l¤f¤r¤¤¤m¤ss¤r¤· strake of the shell plating is to form the boundary line of measgrxeement, and the delpptlls m"“° °‘ °P““ "°“°"· shall be taken from an athwartship line, extended from upper edge to upper edge of the said stmke at each division of the length. DEDUCTIONS FBO! THE GROSS TONNAGE T0 AKZERTAIN THE NET TONNAGE. ‘ (A) nxnucnoxs ron vnssnns Nur PBOPBLLED nr ENGINES. Am. X. The following spaces (enumerated below in secs. 1 to 10 of this article) shall be deducted from the gross tonnage in order to ascertain the net tonnage of vessels not propelled by en `nes, and no other spaces shall be deducted. Unless otherwise ex remly stipulated? these spaces shall be deducted whether located above or below the upper eck. _ _ The volume or cubical contents of deducted spaces shall be ascertained in the manner specified in Article VIII or Article IX of these rules. The remainder, resulting from deducting from the total space included in gross tonnage the sum of the cubical contents o the spaces whose deduction from gross tonnage is permitted by these rules, shall be the net or register tonnage of vessels not propelled by enpmes and unrigged craft upon which to is and other charges based ppon tonnage aha l be id by vessels of commerce, Army and Navy transports, colhers, supplg shilps, and Kgspital ships (as defined in Art. I) for passage through the Panama ana. One hundred cubic feet, or 2.83 cubic meters, shall constitute one gross or net ton. Spaces for the use, or possible use, of passepgers (as defined in Art. VI) shall not be deducted from the gross tonnage, except Ill so far as their deduction may be specifically provided for in the following sections (1 to 10) of this article of these rules.
