It's called "Admiralty Law" or "Maritime Law"...a distinct body of laws which governs maritime questions and offenses.  It's both domestic laws and private international laws governing the relationships between private entities which operate vessels on the oceans.  Per Wikipedia, it deals with matters including marine commerce, marine navigation, shipping, sailors, and transportation of passengers and goods by sea.  Admiralty Law also covers many commercial activities, although land based or occurring wholly on land,  that are in maritime character.  Admiralty Law is distinguished from the "Law of the Sea," which is a body of public international law dealing with navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters, and international law governing relationships between nations.  Admiralty Courts were a prominent feature in the prelude to the American Revolution.  Admiralty  Law became part of the law of the United States as it was gradually introduced through admiralty cases arising after the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1789.  Many American attorneys who were prominent in the American Revolution were Admiralty Law and Maritime lawyers in their private lives.   But all has to do with our founding documents from which this great country was founded upon.    Now, finally our country will be free.  IF anyone has listened to a man whom goes by the name "Drake and Company" on Global Voice Radio Network, WRAM.com (Well Regulated American Militias),  you will see this is what he's been talking about, the process by which we are  taking back our once great country.
