Matters dealt by admiralty law include marine commerce, [[marine navigation]], [[marine salvage|salvage]], [[maritime pollution]], [[sailor|seafarers' rights]], and the [[Contract of carriage|carriage]] by sea of both passengers and [[Freight transport|goods]]. Admiralty law also covers land-based commercial activities that are maritime in character, such as marine insurance. Some lawyers prefer to reserve the term "admiralty law" for "wet law" (e.g. salvage, collisions, ship arrest, towage, liens and limitation), and use "maritime law" only for "dry law" (e.g. carriage of goods and people, [[marine insurance]], and the [[Maritime Labour Convention]]).{{efn|The title of Aleka Mandaraka-Sheppard's book changed from {{cite book |title=Modern Admiralty Law |date=2007 |isbn=9781843141969 |edition=2nd|last1=Mandaraka-Sheppard |first1=Aleka |publisher=Cavendish }} to {{cite book |title=Modern Maritime Law |date=2014 |isbn=9780415843201 |edition=3rd|last1=Mandaraka-Sheppard |first1=Aleka |publisher=Routledge }}}}{{Citation needed|reason=The change in title of a book is not a source for the "wet law" / "dry law" distinction, especially as arrest a "wet law", is dealt with in the 3rd edition |date=January 2019}}
