Vessels that come to rest upside down on a yielding seabed can be relatively stable, although the upper decks usually collapse under the load and machinery and fittings fall. [28], In 2011, the most valuable cargo of a sunken shipwreck was identified near the western edge of the Celtic Sea. Thick ferrous objects such as cannons, steam boilers or the pressure vessel of a submarine often survive well underwater in spite of corrosion. Steel and iron, depending on their thickness, may retain the ship's structure for decades. These creatures affect the primary state because they move, or break, any parts of the shipwreck that are in their way, thereby affecting the original condition of amphorae, for example, or any other hollow places. Shipwrecks in shallow water near busy shipping lanes are often demolished or removed to reduce the danger to other vessels. The hull has also become an artificial reef with a rich and diverse marine life and almost 10,000 people dive on the site each year for a memorable dive experience. Military wrecks, caused by a skirmish at sea, are studied to find details about the historic event; they reveal much about the battle that occurred. Following the beaching of MSC Napoli, as a result of severe damage incurred during European storm Kyrill, there was confusion in the press and by the authorities about whether people could be prevented from helping themselves to the flotsam which was washed up on the beaches at Branscombe.

Wrecks can represent different things to different people. The AUCHD also serves as the register of Wrecks are often considered separately from their cargo. In 2013, a project was established to support heritage institutions enter their maritime relics for Queensland shipwrecks into the ANSDB.
