Section 82. Notice of lien, when to be filed

Every debt specified in
  section eighty shall cease to be a lien  upon  such  vessel  unless  the
  lienor  shall,  within ninety days after the debt becomes due, except as
  hereinafter provided, file a notice of lien, containing the name of  the
  vessel, the name of the owner, if known, the particulars of the debt and
  a  statement  of  the  amount  claimed  to  be due from such vessel, and
  verified by the lienor, his legal representative, agent or assignee,  to
  be  true  and  correct.  If the debt is based upon a written contract, a
  copy of such contract shall be attached to such notice. The notice shall
  be filed in the office of the clerk of the county in which the  debt  is
  contracted. But if the debt was contracted in the city of New York, such
  notice  shall  be  filed in the office of the clerk of the county of New
  York. Whenever any debt specified in section eighty is contracted by the
  master, owner, charterer, builder or consignee of  any  ship  or  vessel
  navigating  the  western  and northwestern lakes, or any of them, or the
  river Saint Lawrence, or by the agent of such master, owner,  charterer,
  builder  or  consignee, such debt shall not cease to be a lien upon such
  ship or vessel if the person to whom such debt may be  owing  shall,  by
  the first Tuesday of February next succeeding the time such debt becomes
  due  cause  to  be  drawn up, verified and filed, specifications of such
  debt  in  the  form  and  comprising  the  statements  in  this  section
  prescribed.
