Read a random definition: direct interest

A quick definition of Court of Admiralty:

The Court of Admiralty was a court in England that dealt with cases related to shipping, collisions, and salvage. It was established in the 14th century and initially dealt with piracy and prize cases. Over time, its jurisdiction expanded to include criminal matters and other areas of law. In 1873-1875, it was merged with the High Court as part of the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division. In 1970, a new Admiralty Court was established as part of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court. Today, it is regulated by the Supreme Court Act of 1981.

A more thorough explanation:

The Court of Admiralty, also known as the High Court of Admiralty, is a court in England that deals with cases related to shipping, collision, and salvage. It has been in existence since the 14th century and was originally concerned with prize and piracy cases. Over time, its jurisdiction expanded to include other areas of law not directly related to maritime issues.

The Court of Admiralty was merged into the High Court as part of the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division in 1873-1875. However, a new Admiralty Court was established in 1970 as part of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court.

For example, if a ship collides with another ship and causes damage, the Court of Admiralty would have jurisdiction over the case and would determine who is responsible for the damages.
