Why are shipwrecks so fasinating to most people including myself?

I was JUST reading a book this afternoon at the Chicago Historical Societys book store about a shipwreck called the Eastland Disaster where a ship carrying 2500+ employees of the Western Electric Company in Cicero, IL capsized on the Chicago river killing 847 peple in 1915. Most of the people that died were from my neighborhood in Berwyn, IL and then next door to us in Cicero, IL
