§ 10 §3852 — Labor and materials; owners of dry docks or marine railways

A person who furnishes labor or materials for building a vessel has a lien on it for the labor and materials, which may be enforced by attachment of the vessel within 4 days after it is launched, but if the labor and materials have been so furnished by virtue of a contract not fully completed at the time of the launching of the vessel, the lien may be enforced within 4 days after the contract has been completed. The person has a lien on the materials furnished before they become part of the vessel, which may be enforced by attachment. The owners of a dry dock or marine railway used for a vessel have a lien on the vessel for the use of the dock or railway, to be enforced by attachment within 4 days after the last day in which the dock or railway is used or occupied by the vessel.
