Coast Guard recorded. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record exists, not
years in service. What Maury does not do.

Ownership record

with its owners and liens as filed -- is not in PSIX. Ask, and Maury buys it from the National
Vessel Documentation Center, files it here with its date, and every reader of this page gets it.
