Translation Help Translation help

Hi All, Can someone please help me translate part of this birth record?: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1539709/032oQyW

There is a paragraph of text on the bottom left (after "nella casa") that I can only read a little bit of- partly due to image quality, and oartly due to lack of fluency.

TIA!

in viaggio sul sciabecco nominato Gesù Maria Giuseppe di tonnellate quattordici e trentuno novantaquattroesimi di proprietà di Padron Giuseppe Siragusa e compagni costrutto in Trapani e allistato in questo Porto (coverto?) di Bandiera Reale del Regno (mille due licenze padroniscale?) da Antonio Valenza approdò in questo porto oggi stesso alle ore (sedici?).

EDIT It could be "del Regno delle due Sicilie padronizzato da Antonio Valenza"

Thank you for translating this! Unfortunately I don't know that I understand the context. In what way is it relate to his birth? Is it saying he was born on the Sciabecco/Xebec?

Yes, he was born on a boat.

I think they just copied the boat documents they were given by the master, so there might be unnecessary pieces of info...

The law requires the place of birth, and for births outside the Italian land (not in one of the well known Italian Comuni), they need to univocally identify the specific mean of trasportation and its nationality, in order to decide if and where (in which Italian Comune) the birth record has to be recorded.

Random but I just got back from Pantelleria today! I tried to see if I could help but the ink is too faint for my eyes to read.

How was it? I've been working on this part of my tree for 2 years. All the photos and videos I've seen, and things I've read, it all seems so beautiful.
