This is how they register you as a vessel in the uk
on your birth certificate you will have a number like IBB12A234
Take off the IBB and you are left with a 6 didget code 12A234 then go to
http://www.ukshipregister.co.uk/ukreg-register.htm put in that number 6 didget number and then you can register your vessel

I'll be registering my child on here as a ship. Any suggestions on which option I should choose. I notice if you choose a small ship it cannot be given "title" and a mortgage cannot be applied to it!!!!

Yeah that all sounds like it is about ships!!!!!! The think we are f****** stupid... perhaps we are

All of this talk of ships reminded me of a specific term, which may be useful :)

Keep your eyes wide open to any reference in statute, or government papers, council documents, etc ... that use the term bottomry.

A bottomry, or bottomage, is when the master of a ship borrows money upon the bottom or keel of it, so as to forfeit the ship itself to the creditor, if the money is not paid at the time appointed with interest at the ship's safe return.

This occurs in cases where the ship needs urgent repairs during the course of its voyage or some other emergency arises and it is not possible for the master to contact the owner to arrange funds, allowing him to borrow money on the security of the ship or the cargo by executing a bond. Where both cargo and ship are hypothecated, the bond is called a bottomry bond. Due to the bond's relatively low priority as against other liens in the event of a libel against the ship, the use of bottomry bonds declined greatly in the 19th century and the subject is today of interest only to legal historians.

The Code of Hammurabi describes a form of bottomry that was a type of insurance. A bottomry would be taken, but the repayment would be contingent on the ship successfully completing the voyage.

hy·poth·e·cate
tr.v. hy·poth·e·cat·ed, hy·poth·e·cat·ing, hy·poth·e·cates
To pledge (property) as security or collateral for a debt without transfer of title or possession.
