When may a seaman on a vessel engaged in foreign trade be paid before earning the wages?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The seaman may only draw an advance on earned wages.
This is the correct answer because under U.S. Coast Guard regulations, seamen on vessels engaged in foreign trade can only be paid an advance on wages they have already earned, not wages they have not yet earned. Seamen cannot be paid any amount beyond what they have already worked for and accrued. Options A, C, and D would allow for advances beyond earned wages, which is not permitted under the regulations.
