What is a shipwreck? ... the wreck as a partial loss
A partial loss is a mariner's term for a wreck that damages a ship but does not destroy it. Back from the brink of death - these ships suffered damage but lived to sail again:

 |
Marjorie J. Sumner - 1906 |

 |
|
Kurdistan - 1979 |
Ella Moore - 1892 |
A total loss, in contrast, is a wreck where the ship is destroyed and never sails again.
