wreck site
A wreck site is a specific location where a ship, aircraft, or vehicle has sunk or become stranded, often underwater. These sites can be historic, containing artifacts and structures from the original vessel, or recent, sometimes serving as artificial reefs or archaeological findings. Researchers, divers, and archaeologists explore wreck sites to study their history, understand the events leading to the sinking, and preserve cultural heritage. Proper documentation and conservation are essential to protect these sites from damage and ensure they can be studied and enjoyed by future generations.
