Helpful to get started if you are unfamiliar with this area of law - can give search terms for more in depth research in a specialized and occasionally obscure area of the law.

Hopefully this book helped me to get a good grade on my Admiralty final? I semi-learned a crapload of stuff about Admiralty law that I have already forgotten haha.
