The reckless dangerous negligence that led to the disappearance of a ship and the life of the Crew is often repeated by those supposedly trained, experienced and qualified for high-level duties on these ships. There are no new ways to sink ships, only completely predictable and avoidable ways that no Crew should subject their ships to.

A shipwreck is the wreck of a ship that has run aground or sunk to the bottom of a body of water. Shipwreck can be intentional or unintentional. Angela Croome reported in January 1999 that there were approximately three million shipwrecks worldwide [1] (an estimate quickly confirmed by UNESCO [2] [3] and other organizations [4]).

Historic wrecks are attractive to marine archaeologists as they preserve historical information: for example, examining the wreck of the Mary Rose has revealed information about shipping, warfare, and life in the 16th century. Military wrecks caused by a conflict at sea are examined to find details about the historic event; They reveal a lot about the war that took place. Discoveries of treasure ships, often from the era of European colonization, also take place, sinking in distant places, leaving few living witnesses, such as the Batavia. Some contemporary shipwrecks, such as the oil tanker Prestige or Erika, are of interest primarily because of their potential damage to the environment. Other contemporary shipwrecks such as Adolphus Busch and Ocean Freeze were lowered to encourage reef growth. Many contemporary and historical shipwrecks, such as the Thistlegorm, are of interest to recreational divers who dive into the wrecks, as they are interesting to explore, provide extensive habitats for many species of marine life, and have an interesting history.
