De engelske definitioner på vraggods er i nedennævnte kilde skrevet sådan:
FLOTSAM, JETSAM and LAGAN, are in general, goods on or in the sea, and belong to the king, who by charter hath granted them to the lord admiral. In particular, flotsam, is when a ship is sunk or otherwise cast away, and the goods float upon the sea.
Jetsam, is where the ship is in danger of sinking, and, for lightening the ship, the goods are thrown into the sea, but nothwithstanding the ship perisheth.
Lagan, is when heavy goods that sink are cast into the sea before the perishing of the ship; and the master and mariners, that they may find and have them again, fasten a buoy-cork, or other seamark to them, whereby they may be the more easily directed to the place where they lie, if they shall be in a condition to retake them
