Historical and Revision Notes RevisedSectionSource (U.S. Code)Source (Statutes at Large) 3030646 App.:764.Mar. 30, 1920, ch. 111, § 4, 41 Stat. 537. The words “a civil action in admiralty may be brought in a court of the United States based on the foreign cause of action” are substituted for “such right may be maintained in an appropriate action in admiralty in the courts of the United States” for clarity and consistency. The words “any statute of the United States to the contrary notwithstanding” are omitted as unnecessary.
