== Shipping Law re USport-to-USport domestic shipping law, i.e. no stops intermediary countries?  Whatever it's called - and I'd think it's already in Wikipedia if I knew its name - it was brought in around the time of the Klondike Gold Rush to benefit Seattle and other US ports for traffic bound for Skagway and Haines and Dyea which, although not formally American until 1903, were claimed as such at the time of the law.  The law was designed to target shipping commerce and shipping companies based out of Victoria and Vancouver, which had dominated coastal shipping for years until the rush.  Anyone here know the name of this law, and is there an article about it, or that would concern it?  Reason is a section for the Alaska Boundary Dispute article needs a comment about it and I need a ref, hopefully a link.
