A vessel has been surveyed in a foreign port and found unseaworthy as a result of neglect. A seaman on this vessel is entitled to discharge and __________.

Correct Answer: Option B — one month's pay or transportation to the nearest U.S. port, whichever is the greater amount

46 U.S.C. 10905 mandates that if a vessel is found unseaworthy due to neglect, the Master must pay the seaman one month's wages or provide transportation to the nearest U.S. port, whichever is greater. This protects the mariner from the consequences of the vessel's failure to maintain seaworthiness.
