In maritime law, flotsam, jetsam, lagan, and derelict are specific kinds of shipwreck. The words have specific nautical meanings, with legal consequences in the law of admiralty and marine salvage: * ''Flotsam'' is floating wreckage of a ship or its cargo. * ''Jetsam'' is part of a ship, its equipment, or its cargo that is purposely cast overboard or jettisoned to lighten the load in time of distress and is washed ashore. * ''Lagan'' (also called ligan) is goods or wreckage that is lying on the bottom of the ocean, sometimes marked by a buoy, which can be reclaimed. * ''Derelict'' is cargo that is also on the bottom of the ocean, but which no one has any hope of reclaiming (in other maritime contexts, ''derelict'' may also refer to a drifting abandoned ship). == See also == * Curtis Ebbesmeyer * Driftwood * Great Pacific garbage patch * Marine debris * Receiver of Wreck * Treasure trove; the legal ramifications of the notion include the distinction between deliberate and accidental loss * Ghost ship * Ship graveyard 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flotsam, jetsam, lagan, and derelict」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
