swiveled an any direction to face the wind.

What is it? *I'd say it was a motorboat when underway using the electric
motor and the water propeller. *

The definitions of both Seaman and Vessel as defined by the Jones Act
have broadend over the decades to adapt to the ever changing marine
industry.

The courts create the difinitions.
