Acts 27:39-41

39When day came, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, and they decided to run the ship ashore there if they could.

40So they cut the cables and severed the anchors and left them in the sea while at the same time unlashing the ropes of the rudders; and after hoisting the foresail to the wind, they headed steadily for the beach.

41But striking a reef with waves breaking in on either side, they ran the ship aground. The prow (forward point) stuck fast and remained immovable, while the stern began to break up under the [violent] force of the waves.
