A quick definition of admiralty jurisdiction:

Admiralty jurisdiction is the power of the U.S. district courts to handle cases related to maritime law. This means that if something happens on the water, like a shipwreck or a dispute between sailors, the court can hear the case and make a decision. It's also sometimes called maritime jurisdiction.

A more thorough explanation:

ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION

Admiralty jurisdiction refers to the authority of U.S. district courts to handle legal cases related to maritime activities. This includes cases involving ships, boats, and other vessels, as well as maritime contracts, injuries, and other disputes.

Examples of cases that fall under admiralty jurisdiction include:

A lawsuit filed by a crew member who was injured while working on a ship
A dispute between two shipping companies over a contract for transporting goods
A claim for damages caused by a collision between two boats

These examples illustrate how admiralty jurisdiction applies to legal cases that involve maritime activities and the people and companies involved in them.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.
