Congress has federal jurisdiction over navigable waterways. The federal courts have original jurisdiction over admiralty, which is basically the federal law of torts for shipping. If you operate or own shipping on the ocean, a major river or the great lakes, you would be subject to admiralty jurisdiction. The average person has no contact with admiralty. Hope that helped.
