T&T: 100 ton license definition ?

[bob england]

I threw this in as an aside on a different but similar post a few days ago, 
hoping to get a response or correction without seeming to be totally 
ignorant. No takers. It is my understanding that the tonnage term used for 
the license has no relation to the actual weight or displacement of the 
boat. It doesn't mean that if I have a 100 ton ticket I can operate boats up 
to 200,000 pounds. Right or wrong ?
