shipwrecks
A shipwreck occurs when a ship is damaged and sinks or becomes stranded, often due to storms, navigational errors, or collisions. These incidents can happen in oceans, rivers, or lakes, and they can result in the loss of cargo, environmental damage, and sometimes loss of life.
Many shipwrecks become historical sites, attracting divers and researchers interested in maritime history. Some famous shipwrecks include the Titanic, which sank in 1912, and the Andrea Doria, which went down in 1956. These sites can provide valuable insights into shipbuilding techniques and the conditions of the time.
