In maritime law, floating wreckage of a ship or its cargo (7)

I believe the answer is:

flotsam

(Other definitions for flotsam that I've seen before include "Detritus" , "The floating wreckage of a ship" , "Goods lost" , "Things going adrift" , "Shipwreck goods floating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
