This law says that, starting 15 days after a proclamation of insurrection, any ship owned even partly by someone from that state — if found at sea or in another U.S. port — will be seized by the government.
This section orders the seizure of ships owned by residents of a state declared to be in rebellion.
It applies once a proclamation is issued under section 205 of this title, declaring a state or part of a state to be in insurrection.
Starting 15 days after that proclamation, any vessel owned in whole or in part by a citizen or resident of that state or area is forfeited to the government. This happens if the vessel is found at sea, or in any port in the rest of the United States.
