Lowell, citizens of the State of Maine; and which said vessel, having been wrecked and condemned on one of the Muscle Ridge Islands, was purchased by them, and which they have caused to be repaired and refitted for sea again: Provided, It shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Treasury that the cost of the repairs made in the United States, after the purchase of the said vessel by the present owners, exceeds three-fourths of the original cost of building a vessel of the same tonnage in the United States.
