As others have said, that is the USCG documentation number. That is a pretty old number (the number stays with the vessel over its life - if you were to renew the documentation you would keep the same number. New numbers are up around 1500000) so it may well have gotten documented when it was first purchased.
When last documented (it expired in March 1993) it was named Stardust, and owned by Teresa J Barbero. The hail port was New York City. And the previous owner was Joseph A Besso. 9 tonnes is the net capacity (it is a function of volume, not weight). 11 is the gross tonnage. There was a thorough discussion about documentation on the list about a month ago, as I recall, so you may want to look at the archives. The high points are that you are supposed to have your vessel documented (which is like a US title) if you sail to another country, many lenders want the boat documented as a security against fraud, it is supposed to be harder to dispose of a stolen vessel if it is documented, and in many states you do not need to get state registration or put the ugly numbers and/or stickers on your bow. But the last varies depending on the laws of the state you live in.
