Do you know what happens to stow-aways on ships?
What do you think about that?
Answer:
No, stowaways who are discovered on board are NOT thrown overboard. That would be inhuman.
At the end port, they can be deported back to their country of origin or apply for asylum if they have a valid case (this is very rare), and be required to pay for their passage. They can be jailed also.
Most would not toss them off a ship at sea. Generally, international law applies, and law relevant to the nation of the ships registry. It is not very common anymore for stowaways to happen, as port security is much tighter, very much like an airport, then in the past.
That would be murder. Most of us saw the movie you're talking about.
They would be detained and turned over to the authorities when they dock.

if you go about these things please look into your past ancestors, how many in your own family has other back grounds, Italians,Indians,Hispanic,blac... and so on, what if people struck out at your family thank before you leap.
Please supply a resource for the fine part. Fine can be imposed for aiding someone to enter illegally. If reported to immigration, a stowaway would not result in a fine.
That's not truth u.s departments of transportation, shipping, & government as well do not give fine or seeking legal action against any foreign ship co. arrive in u.s with stowaway discover on it.
The company is not fined unless there is some kind of "smuggling" operation involved.
The stowaways can however be fined or imprisoned.
These people know that they are dealing with ruthless smugglers before they agree to get on the boat.
I think that they should reconsider "hiding" where the smugglers tell them to. Maybe they should try and be real stowaways...actually hide from the crew instead of promising to pay or work for the passage.
