Nautical disasters refer to catastrophic events that occur at sea, often involving ships, boats, or other vessels. These incidents can include shipwrecks, collisions, capsizing, and grounding, leading to loss of life, environmental damage, and economic impact. Famous examples include the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and the Costa Concordia disaster in 2012. Factors contributing to nautical disasters can include human error, severe weather, mechanical failure, and navigational challenges. Safety regulations and advancements in technology aim to reduce the risk of such incidents, but they still occur, highlighting the inherent dangers of maritime travel.
