Shipwreck
A wreck ( v. mittelniederdt. Wreck " prowling object ") is a has become unusable due to deterioration or damage to the vehicle. Most commonly, the term is used in connection with sunken ships after a shipwreck or, in naval warfare, sinking or scuttling. For buildings and technical facilities, the term is used in ruins. With a larger number of wrecks we speak figuratively of ship graveyards, cemeteries, car, airplane graveyards etc. In Austria, the term is also used for cars, similar to the accident.
Shipwrecks
Shipwrecks that lie only partially sunk below the water surface in the vicinity of shoals or practice, are recognized as major threat to shipping lanes. For shipwrecks that are older than 100 years, adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in November 2001 Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage applies. You then enter into force when 20 countries have ratified it.
A special kind of self-absorption make the block ships in naval warfare dar. Our own decommissioned ships were sunk from enemy harbor entrances to block this, or before our own plants to protect them.
