    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or other asbestos-material record was located in the NARA and NHHC materials reviewed; the accessible official-source search did not establish asbestos presence or absence aboard YMS-361.

    Limitations
    This is a bounded public-record negative finding, not proof that asbestos was absent. The underlying deck logs were not retrieved, Firecrawl was unavailable, and the search did not establish exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.
