Read a random definition: Federal Transit Administration

A quick definition of wreckfree:

Wreckfree means that a port or place is safe for ships and their goods. It also means that the government cannot take away any shipwrecked goods or vessels.

A writ is a written order from a court or legal authority that tells someone to do something or not do something. It has been used for a long time in history, and there are many different types of writs. Some examples include a close writ, which is a secret writ that only certain people can see, and an original writ, which starts a legal case and tells the defendant to come to court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A court's written order, in the name of a state or other competent legal authority, commanding the addressee to do or refrain from doing some specified act.

Examples:

  • Alias writ: An additional writ issued after another writ of the same kind in the same case.
  • Alternative writ: A common-law writ commanding the person against whom it is issued either to do a specific thing or to show cause why the court should not order it to be done.
  • Peremptory writ: At common law, an original writ issued when the plaintiff seeks only general damages, as in an action for trespass.

The examples illustrate different types of writs that can be issued by a court. An alias writ is issued after another writ of the same kind in the same case, while an alternative writ commands the person to either do a specific thing or show cause why it should not be done. A peremptory writ is issued when the plaintiff seeks only general damages in an action for trespass.
