English term or phrase: Admiralty and maritime
Which is the difference between both terms? I always thought they meant the same, are they synonims?

Admiralty law
Maritime law

admiralty / maritime
Explanation:
admiralty = the board administering the navy

maritime = pertaining to the sea, relating to (having a) navy and sea-trade

My understanding is that the admiralty relates specifically to the (royal) navy, whereas maritime is all matters relating to the sea (navy, trading, etc)
