Flotsam and jetsam
I'd never heard the words flotsam and jetsam used in any way but together so had always assumed it was a term to mean general debris floating in the water or washed up. It turns out they have distinct meanings that also affect how they're treated by law.
Flotsam, from flotter to float, refers to debris accidentally lost or washed overboard, often from a shipwreck or accident.
Jetsam is debris that was deliberately jettisoned by a boat in distress, likely to try and lighten the load.
Being that flotsam was lost accidentally, under maritime law, it can be claimed by the original owner, but jetsam can be claimed by the person who found it.
