One, "flotsam" is something that floats whilst "jetsam" was something purposely jettisoned overboard and probably intended to sink.

I made that up!

[calismum]

flotsam is stuff that floats in the sea after a ship goes down.

jetsam is stuff that is deliberately sent to float by the sips crew (like from a submarine to hoodwink the enemy into thinking it had been sunk)

Cooooo - great minds CM. I bet you didn't make that up!

[dandysmom]

Flotsam floats, jetsam was deliberately discarded.

[Shelley123]

'Jetsam' has been voluntarily cast into the sea by the crew of a ship, usually in order to lighten it in an emergency; while 'flotsam' describes goods that are floating on the water without having been thrown in deliberately, often after a shipwreck Ligan (or lagan), describes goods that have been marked by being tied to a buoy so that its owner can find and retrieve it later. Derelict is property which has been abandoned and deserted at sea by those who were in charge
