SAND, District Judge.

Defendant FOA & Son Corporation ("FOA") moves to dismiss the complaint pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on the grounds that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction. The motion, which arises from a dispute between an insured party and its insurance broker, requires an analysis of the somewhat blurred contours of admiralty jurisdiction. For the reasons explained, the motion to dismiss is granted.
