Years with a record
9 calendar years (2018–2026)
Every line above is a count of records the US Coast Guard wrote, or a date it recorded.
The counts in the strip above are the same counts; this table splits the inspections by
the kind of activity recorded. A blank resolution means none was recorded in this data; it
does not establish that a deficiency is outstanding. Years with a record are calendar
years in which a record exists, not years in service.

Registered and ITC measurements are two systems and are never combined. One snapshot is held so far; documentation history begins with the next.
Vessel history report
Every record for this hull, in one document — $299
What it gives that this page does not: the whole record in one dated, citable document — every line with its Coast Guard activity id, the retrieval date on the cover, built to print to PDF with its page breaks — that a surveyor can attach and a lender can file. The same facts as this page, complete and in one file.
Every recorded inspection, 2016 to 2026 for this class, in one chronology · every deficiency, with system, dates and resolution · operational controls imposed and removed · every name this hull has been recorded under · the vessels it was inspected alongside, and when · how its record compares with hulls of similar age and size, as a fact about the population and never a judgement about this vessel.
Read one first, in full: a forty-year chronology · a hull that changed operators four times · the sparse case, shown as an example, not for sale.
A request, not a checkout: leave an email and Maury replies once, with the dated document for this hull and a Stripe invoice for $299. Nothing is charged before the document is in your hands.

Issued 16 April 2026
Resolved
Thank you for the detailed update and for the prompt actions taken by your staff to remediate the mildew issue in the crew berthing. The Coast Guard takes crew habitability and sanitation very seriously. While we appreciate the thorough response—including the mattress replacements and HVAC corrections—we must ensure the space is fully safe for occupancy. Consequently, we are issuing a CG-835 to the AMERICAN HARMONY requiring a qualified professional (e.g., an Industrial Hygienist) to officially test and verify that the crew quarters are indeed sanitary.
15 - Safety Management Systems (ISM) › N/A - No Subsystem › Emergency preparedness
Issued 14 September 2023
Resolved
Vessels described by 46 CFR 114.110(f) must submit plans to the cognizant OCMI, in accordance with 46 CFR 115.700, for the installation and use of monitoring device(s) to ensure the wakefulness of the watchmen required in paragraph (a) of this section. Vessel's FIRE WATCHKEEPING PLAN, Revision 1, dated January 30, 2023, states that: "The Security Watchstander must carry a Motorola handheld radio with Lone Worker-Emergency function programmed, see Encl (1) for specifications." Vessel did not have the radio onboard as per their required plan. Obtain proper radio as per plan and provide proof to the satisfaction of the MI.
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Means of escape
Issued 14 September 2023
Resolved
Except as otherwise provided in this section, each space accessible to passengers or used by the crew on a regular basis, must have at least two means of escape, one of which must not be a watertight door. The partitions between passengers state rooms on the outside decks need to be of a breakaway style to allow for egress and access to the fire dampers. Partitions had stainless steel bolts securing them in place and would not be easily opened in an emergency. Replace with breakaway style devices.
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Ventilation (Working spaces)
Issued 14 September 2023
Resolved
At each inspection for certification and at every other vessel inspection all observed unsafe practices, fire hazards, and other hazardous situations must be corrected and all required guards and protective devices must be in satisfactory condition. Grease was observed leaking from the galley hood extraction fan and was dripping onto the ladder, handrails and deck of the aft machinery space. Vessel shall clean and replace any leaking gaskets and seals to prevent any further leaking of grease.
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Lighting (Working spaces)
Issued 14 September 2023
Resolved
Each vessel must have adequate emergency lighting fitted along the line of escape to the main deck. The emergency light in the aft machinery space was unable to be tested due to a missing test button. Repair or replace light to prove proper operation.
09 - Working and Living Conditions › 092 - Working Conditions › Electrical
Issued 14 September 2023
Resolved
Each distribution panel or switchboard must be totally enclosed and of the dead front type. The 3 panels on the bridge were missing the middle screws, making them not totally enclosed, creating a potential for shock and electrical hazards. Properly secure the front of the panels to ensure full enclosure.
04 - Emergency Systems › N/A - No Subsystem › Emergency, lighting, batteries and switches
Issued 14 September 2023
Resolved
Each vessel must be equipped with at least two operable portable battery lights. One of these lights must be located at the operating station and the other at the access to the propulsion machinery space. Upon testing the lights, neither of them worked. Vessel replaced batteries on the spot and proved proper operation.
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (fire safety)
Issued 28 July 2023
Resolved
ALL OBSERVED UNSAFE PRACTICES, FIRE HAZARDS, AND OTHER HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS MUST BE CORRECTED. ON 28JUL23, THE AMERICAN HARMONY EXPERIENCED A SMALL FIRE IN THE BACK PORCH GALLEY ON THE 4TH DECK CAUSING DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL CORDS AND AN OUTLET.
THE VESSEL HAS PERMISSION TO PROCEED TO THE DALLES ON 29JUL23 WITH THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
-AN ELECTRICIAN AND ENGINEER WILL MEET THE VESSEL TO EXAMINE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
-THE ELECTRICAL WILL REMAIN SECURED IN THAT SPACE UNTIL IT IS DEEMED SAFE TO BE ENERGIZED.
-SET ADDITIONAL FIRE WATCHES IN THAT SPACE WHILE PASSENGERS ARE ON BOARD UNTIL IT IS DEEMED SAFE TO RETURN TO SERVICE.
-REVIEW PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER QUANTITY ON COI AND REPLACE EXTINGUISHER IF NECESSARY.
-MARINE INSPECTOR WILL MEET THE VESSEL IN THE DALLES AT 1800 ON 29JUL23 WHEN THE VESSEL ARRIVES.
02 - Structural Conditions › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (Structural condition)
Issued 20 March 2023
Resolved
A keel cooler installation used for engine cooling must be designed to prevent flooding. Water ingress was found due to a leak in the mounting frame gasket on the port side keel cooler. Repair or replace keel cooler. Until permanent repairs are made: 1) complete temporary repair with epoxy and shoring such that ingress of water is completely stopped, and 2) include monitoring of affected area as part of regular watchstander rounds.
11 - Life Saving Appliances › N/A - No Subsystem › Rescue boats
Issued 20 March 2023
Resolved
in general a rescue boat must be of adequate proportion to permit taking an unconscious person onboard without capsizing.
At the last annual inspection the rescue boat was found to have insufficient stability to safely recover a MOB over the gunwale.
The [name withheld], Or issued a CG 835 to replace the rescue boat within 60 days. The CG 835 was later cleared with American Cruise Lines assurance that the rescue boat would be replaced during the off season layup period.
The rescue boat has not been replaced. Replace the rescue boat with the agreed upon more stable boat prior to sailing from the Port of Astoria.
