Christian,

This is an interesting thread, and being a lawyer I really don't know sh*t about Maritime Law, I handle criminal and traffic offences (DUI) mainly, but I will look into what the law is in regards to boats set adrift in the hurricane situation we experienced here in New Jersey, and what , duties, and limitations are afforded to the owners and the salvagers.

Looks like it is time to expand my breadth of legal expertise, I will do some legal research on Westlaw or Lexis, and what the rules actually are regarding this topic for New Jersey citizens and boats located in New Jersey this week and get back at you when I have a general answer that will be a good starting point. Hope all is well with you.

Stephen

Smarty thanks! I think seeing all the boats set a drift and up on houses, roads, marshes, etc this could be a field day for someone if they really can just go take them?

I actually found an ad in South Jersey Craigslist yesterday advertising this $hit!!!! Boats for sale, said " they washed up or were left floating, bring a trailer or crane if you want something big!!!"

The ad even stated this "maritime salvage law" BS, I am one to try and make a buck when an opportunity presents itself, but this is just out of line!
