ward of admiralty

A seaman — so called because of the legal view that a seaman, in contractual matters, should be treated as a beneficiary and the other contracting party as a fiduciary because of the perceived inequitability of their bargaining positions. [Cases: Seamen 1. C.J.S. Seamen §§ 6, 216–219.]
