In strict terms, as I understand the term, the definition is too braod: not everything thrown overboard is jetsam. I think the term is supposed to be limited to things thrown overboard for the purpose of lightening a vessel to prevent foundering when in distress. J Waldron, [1]

Yes, so be bold and correct the definition. SemperBlotto 21:18, 24 July 2005 (UTC)Reply
