The Shipwreck is a landscape painting by J. M. W. Turner in the collection of the Tate.

[1][2] It was completed around 1805, when it was exhibited in Turner's own gallery.

The painting is an important example of the sublime in British art.

[3] It is thought that the picture probably records the then recent sinking of the Earl of Abergavenny, which foundered of Weymouth on 4 February 1805.
