salvor

Read a random definition: contrary to the evidence

A quick definition of salvor:

A salvor is someone who helps save a ship and its cargo from danger or loss. They are entitled to receive a reward for their services, which is called salvage. A salvor is someone who offers their help voluntarily, without any pre-existing agreement or obligation to do so. They must have the intention and ability to save the ship and its cargo, but they do not have to intend to keep it for themselves.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A salvor is a person who saves a vessel and its cargo from danger or loss. They are entitled to salvage. A salvor is also known as a salvager.

According to Martin J. Norris, "A salvor is a person, who, without any particular relation to a ship or property in distress, performs useful service, and gives it as a volunteer without any pre-existing contract that connected him with the duty of employing himself for the preservation of the ship or property."

For example, if a ship is sinking and a person jumps in to help save the crew and cargo, that person is a salvor. They are not necessarily connected to the ship or its cargo, but they are providing a useful service to save it from danger or loss.

Another example could be a person who finds a lost ship and helps bring it back to shore. They are not obligated to do so, but they are providing a valuable service and are entitled to salvage.
