The Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, requires the skipper of every Irish fishing boat of 25 tons gross tonnage or upwards to enter into an agreement with every seaman whom he carries to sea as one of his crew. The agreement is required to be in a prescribed form and a copy of this form can be made available to the Deputy if he so wishes.
