§ 12.76.140 — Wrecked or sunken vessels

12.76.140 Wrecked or sunken vessels.

Whenever a vessel is wrecked or sunk within the Sacramento marina, accidentally or otherwise, the owner shall immediately mark its position by a buoy or beacon by day, and by an electric light visible for at least one hundred (100) yards by night, and maintain such markings until the obstruction is removed. The owner of such a wrecked or sunken vessel shall immediately commence removal of the vessel and prosecute the removal diligently to completion, and the failure to do so shall constitute an abandonment of the vessel and subject the vessel to removal and disposition in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.76.120. No person shall return a wrecked or sunken vessel to its berth within the Sacramento marina without the prior approval of the director. The owner of a sunken or wrecked vessel shall be liable for any damage which results to city property or other vessels in the marina. (Ord. 2006-059 § 1)
