I saw something interesting on Reddit the other day. Apparently when a ship is abandoned in international waters, it becomes a finders keepers scenario. Be interesting to see if they can save it!

Funny enough I wondered that regarding wrecks and there cargo , didn’t realise there were so many terminologies Jetsam, flotsam, lagan and derelict

See there’s a reference regarding Duchy of Cornwall and think Cornwall a few hundred years ago were one of the top places where if anything came on shore the locals would Nick all of it before the red coats got wind of it


Jetsam describes goods cast overboard to lighten a vessel in danger of sinking. The vessel may still perish.

Flotsam describes goods lost from a ship which has sunk or otherwise perished. Goods are recoverable because they remain afloat.

Lagan describes goods cast overboard from a ship which afterwards perishes. The goods are buoyed so they can be recovered.

Derelict describes property, whether vessel or cargo, which has been abandoned and deserted at sea by those who were in charge of it without any hope of recovering it.
