A seaman does not by any agreement forfeit his lien on the ship to which he belongs, nor is he deprived of any remedy for the recovery of his wages to which, in the absence of the agreement, he would be entitled, and does not by any agreement abandon his right to wages in case of the loss of the ship, or abandon any right that he may have or obtain in the nature of salvage, and every stipulation in any agreement inconsistent with any provision of this Act is void.
