The main sea begins at the low-watermark, but between the high-water mark and the low-water mark, where the sea ebbs and flows, the Common Law and Admiralty have, divisum imperium, an alternate jurisdiction, the one upon the water when it is full sea, the other upon the land when it is an ebb. See FORESHORE.The jurisdiction of the Admiralty within three miles of the low-water mark will be found elaborately discussed in Reg. v. Keyn, (1876) 2 Ex D 63. In that case it was held by a majority of seven judges to six that the Central Criminal Court had no jurisdiction to try for manslaughter the foreign captain of a foreign ship--the Franconia--which, in passing within three miles of the British shore, ran into a British ship and sank her; but this state of the law was soon afterwards altered by the (English) Territoria...
