Acts 27:39-41

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

40So they slipped the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the linkage that bound the steering oars together. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and steered toward the beach.

41But they encountered a patch of crosscurrents and ran the ship aground; the bow stuck fast and could not be moved, but the stern was being broken up by the force of the waves.
