Section 7(1) applies to actions to enforce claims or liens against the vessel or its owners and does not operate to bar actions against a constituted limitation fund; the deadline in a limitation decree is an administrative procedural deadline which the court may extend; protective writs issued within the statutory period preserve a claimant's right against the owner and justify extension of the decree deadline where good reasons exist and there is no prejudice.
