Lagan

Lagan refers to goods or cargo that are intentionally sunk in water, particularly in a river or harbor, but are marked or secured in a way that indicates ownership. This method is often used for various reasons, such as to protect valuable items, manage shipping processes, or prevent theft. The term originates from maritime law, where it helps to clarify the ownership rights of items submerged in water. Essentially, lagan serves as a legal mechanism to recover property later, as long as its owner is identifiable.
