N° 45.

N° 2. WRECKS OF THE SEA,

WRECKS are mentioned in the former grants of the Isle of Man to my ancestors under the title of Wrecks of the Sea, Previous to 1765 every denomination of Wreck was enjoyed, Wrecks of the Sea were reserved by the Revesting Act to as full uses and extents as if that Revesting Act had never been made.

Wrecks of the Sea since the Revestment have been distinguished by the Crown Officers under the of Flotsam, Jetsam, and Ligan. Flotsam and Ligan have been taken possession of by the Crown Officers, and even in some instance Jetsam.
