Notable Shipwrecks

Notable shipwrecks are historically significant maritime accidents involving ships that sank due to storms, navigation errors, or other issues. These wrecks often reveal insights about past technologies, trade routes, or cultural exchanges. For example, the Titanic’s sinking in 1912 remains one of the most famous, highlighting early 20th-century maritime safety. Shipwrecks can also become underwater archaeological sites, offering valuable clues about historical events and lifestyles. Many wrecks are preserved underwater as time capsules, providing opportunities for research, exploration, and even tourism, while reminding us of the perils of sea travel.
