FLOTSAM AND JETSAM? |
|
|
|
In the technical sense, flotsam and jetsam have different meanings. Flotsam is the part of the wreckage of a ship or its cargo found floating on the water. Jetsam is cargo or parts of a ship that are deliberately thrown overboard, as to lighten the ship in an emergency, and that subsequently either sinks or is washed ashore. (While we're on the subject, we might as well mention lagan, which is goods thrown into the sea but attached to a buoy so they can be recovered.) The common phrase flotsam and jetsam is used to refer to the entire residue of a shipwreck, and is not redundant. |
