A wreck is a nautical craft that has unintentionally been sunk or destroyed. A wreck can persist for many centuries and can be a hazard or a point of interest. Technically, ships that are intentionally sunk are not wrecks (e.g. HMS Scylla).

Description

Wreck locations are of interest to:

• shipping and harbor management
• fishing
• divers

Wrecks can be in one or more significant parts (due to current movement, etc). Occasionally there are wreck debris fields even when the wreck cannot be located.

Marine Mapping

For marine mapping, it is of interest to know the clearance over the wreck, position of masts or funnels, whether the depth have been verified by sonar, divers, or the wreck have been swept. It is also of interest to know if a wreck is stranded or not.

Rendering

Wrecks should be rendered at close zoom levels as there are very many wrecks near coastlines (especially in the UK).
