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 But they were superseded as to navigation on the high seas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regulations were superseded by the adoption of the subsequent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Sec. 4233 were further superseded, as to navigation on the Great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superseded as to navigation of all harbors, rivers, and inland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.
