If a ship was lost at sea, and the cargo or a portion of it came to land, the goods saved belonged to the Crown. This privilege was frequently granted to lords of manors. The owners of shipwrecked goods were allowed to reclaim them within a year and a day, if they could identify them. At the present day, ” wreck ” includes jetsam, flotsam (q.v.), ligan and derelict.
