Dictionary of Terms and Phrases Used in American or English Jurisprudence
In the sense of ship's supplies, are the supplies of different articles provided for the subsistence and accommodation of a crew and passengers. Cordage, raven's-duck, and sail-cloth, found on board of a vessel, on her return from a voyage, are not stores, within the duty laws. They are either part of the ship's tackle, apparel, or furniture, or part of the cargo.
