The word "WRECK" is defined to mean the injury or destruction of a vessel by being cast on shore, or on the rocks, or by being permanently disabled or sunk by the force of winds or waves, or by collision or by fire (T. D. 4337). When a vessel sinks she becomes a wreck at the time of sinking, and not at the time when it proves impossible to raise her (T. D. 4327, 12061). Goods recovered from a lighter, which sank while carrying the goods to the importing vessel in the port of exportation, were held to be wrecked goods and entitled to entry under Section 2928, R. S. q. v. (T. D. 12061). But a vessel after stranding and being conveyed into port is not a wreck, and her cargo is not wrecked goods (T. D. 7554) nor is the cargo of a vessel which was damaged by extinguishing a fire, on board, considered wrecked goods (T. D. 7326). 2. Anchors and chains slipped during a storm within the waters of the United States, and recovered by other parties, not dutiable (T. D. September 21, 1875, April 6, 1894, Baltimore). 3. The hull, tackle, apparel and sea-stores of a foreign vessel, wrecked or condemned on the shores of the United States, or of an American vessel, wrecked in foreign waters and brought back to the owners in the United States, are not dutiable, the involuntary arrival not being regarded as an importation. If in the latter case they are sold abroad, and the purchaser returns them to the United states, they become dutiable (T. D. 131, 538, 563, 566, 2188, 4327, 7064, 7807, 11582, 12086, 13096, 15096). 4. Kentledge used as ballast on a vessel wrecked is not part of equipment, and is treated as merchandise upon importation (T. D. 2082). 5. Wrecked or derelect goods sold on behalf of salvors are dutiable, if they belong to the dutiable class (T. D. 2041, 2282, 4168). 6. Iron and steel should be appraised on its condition and value at the time of importation, same as other wrecked goods (T. D. 450 Yarn,* coir, (T. D. 3883)..
