This article examines the social, economic, and political impact of shipwrecks in early Elizabethan England. It considers the frequency of major mishaps among expanding maritime traffic, the transfer of goods from sea to shore, and the frameworks of law for adjudicating their proceeds. It uses three cases from the 1560s involving Mary, Queen of Scots, the Earl of Northumberland, and the Warden of the Cinque Ports, to understand how the Elizabethan regime responded to the legal, diplomatic and political ramifications of wrecks
