Section 33-4-40

Bond of pilot - Preserving bonds, etc.; new bonds; actions on bonds.

The commissioners must preserve on file all bonds and affidavits taken from pilots, and may, whenever they consider it necessary, require a new bond to be executed. The pilot's bond stands as security for any injury caused by the negligence or want of skill of the pilot, and action may be brought thereon in the name of any person aggrieved.
