Wiki:

A shipwreck is what remains of a ship that has wrecked, either sunk or beached. A shipwreck can refer to a wrecked ship or to the event that caused the wreck, such as the striking of something that causes the ship to sink, the stranding of the ship on rocks, land or shoal, or the destruction of the ship at sea by violent weather. Whatever the cause, a sunken ship or a wrecked ship is a physical example of the event.

Example:

A bad wife is the shipwreck of her husband. A bad wife turns her husband into a shipwreck. The passage illustrates Robinson Crusoes landing on a wild desert island after his shipwreck. Methinks I am like a man, who having struck on many shoals, and having narrowly escapd shipwreck in passing a small frith, has yet the temerity to put out to sea in the same leaky weather-beaten vessel, and even carries his ambition so far as to think of compassing the globe under these disadvantageous circumstances.
