The Shipping Articles shall be signed by each seaman and the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Master of the vessel.
The Shipping Articles, which are a contract between the seaman and the vessel, must be signed by each seaman and the master of the vessel. The master, as the person in charge of the vessel, is responsible for ensuring that the Shipping Articles are properly executed. The other options are incorrect because the U.S. Customs Service, Shipping Commissioner, and U.S. Coast Guard are not directly involved in the signing of the Shipping Articles, which is a contractual matter between the seaman and the vessel's master.
