shipwrecking
Let an agent explain shipwrecking, relay causes, investigation, salvage, pollution, heritage protection and notable cases from maritime safety and archaeology sources, route distress at sea to coastguards, describe the named forms and flag the instance, and distinguish shipwrecks from shipbreaking, abandoned vessels, groundings without loss and aviation accidents.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain shipwrecking, relay causes, investigation, salvage, pollution, heritage protection and notable cases from maritime safety and archaeology sources, route distress at sea to coastguards, describe the named forms and flag the instance, and distinguish shipwrecks from shipbreaking, abandoned vessels, groundings without loss and aviation accidents.
The destruction or loss of a vessel through grounding, sinking, capsizing, fire, collision or weather, a category of maritime disaster, including sinking in action during war, seaplane wrecks and cargo losses such as the 1997 loss of containers from the Tokio Express off Cornwall, which scattered millions of Lego pieces still washing ashore, an instance; shipwrecks create hazards and pollution, are investigated by bodies such as the UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch, and historic wrecks are protected as underwater cultural heritage and sometimes as war graves. People in distress at sea should call coastguards or use distress signals.
What it is for: Understanding loss of vessels.
It can be explain causes and forms; relay investigation and salvage; describe heritage protection; route maritime distress.
Distinguishing features
Vessel loss
Varied causes
Environmental hazards
Heritage value
What it looks like
Vessels aground, sunk or broken, wreck sites on seabeds and debris on shores.
Physical character
UNESCO Convention on underwater heritage: 2001 year
Tokio Express container loss: 1997 year - instance
SOLAS Convention: first 1914, current 1974 note - after Titanic
How it is recognised
Destruction or loss of a vessel
Grounding, sinking, seaplane wreck, sinking in action, 1997 Lego spill, capsizing
Shipbreaking dismantles ships deliberately; abandoned vessels are left afloat; groundings may be refloated; aviation accidents involve aircraft
