During the Scientific Revolution, many ships wrecked due to a combination of navigational challenges and the limitations of contemporary maritime technology. Sailors often relied on inaccurate maps and rudimentary navigational tools, making it difficult to accurately determine position and course. Additionally, the era's increased exploration led to more ambitious voyages into uncharted waters, where hazards like reefs and storms posed significant risks. The lack of comprehensive weather forecasting further compounded these dangers, resulting in numerous shipwrecks.
