Shipwreck

Shipwreck

A shipwreck is the wreckage of a ship that is either beached on land or sunken to the bottom of a body of water. It results from the event of shipwrecking, which may be intentional or unintentional. There were approximately three million shipwrecks worldwide as of January 1999, according to Angela Croome, a science writer and author who specialized in the history of underwater archaeology. When a ship's crew has died or abandoned the ship, and the ship has remained adrift but unsunk, she is instead called a ghost ship.
