Naufrage in United States

Naufrage Definition

In French maritime law. When, by the violent agitation of the waves, the impetuosity of the winds, the storm, or the lightning, a vessel is swallowed up, or so shattered that there remain only the pieces, the accident is called naufrage. It differs from echouement, which is when the vessel remains whole, but is grounded; or from bris, which is when it strikes against a rock or a coast; or from sombrer, which is the sinking of a vessel in the sea when it is swallowed up, and which may be caused by any accident whatever. Pardessus, note 643. See “Wreck.”
