I dont know but id like to sign on ..as far as i know congeress can still issue letters granting you the right to be a privateer. They havent written one in years..but i think its actually in the constitution. One should be allowed to sail the seas, hut pirates and collect booty!

Two of the best sites in my opinion are Naval Vessel Registry and hazegray.org/worldnav/

No you can't just do anything in international waters. Generally, the country of origin has jurisdiction over the vessel (flag=jurisdiction). It is kinda how they shut down (or are shutting down) all the off-shore radio stations. But there are also international treaties that cover this and a whole body of maritime and admiralty law.

Actually there is a guideline for Shipyard Work under the factory act. You can check from the particular reference.  Alternatively, you can seek help from your RSO to help you in drafting the risk assessment. I think one of the consideration is the operating voltage on the ship while the other is the supply for the generator.

Start by getting yourself a copy of the Uniform Commercial Code. Trust me it will be of great help. It will tell you all that both parties are allowed to do in court and will give you specific guidlines for the laws that all buisnesses in the US must follow.
