Shipwreck from the Heroes I manual

"Most likely the victim of a pirate attack, this once puissant galleon is now a disintegrating hulk, ripe to be pillaged by avaricious wayfarers."
—Wrecked Galleon flavour text, Might & Magic: Heroes VI


The shipwreck is a creature bank in Heroes of Might and Magic I, Heroes II, Heroes III, and Heroes IV. A similar creature bank appears in Heroes V and Heroes VI called the wrecked galleon, which serves the same purpose.

The hero fights ghosts in Heroes I, Heroes II and Heroes IV, and is rewarded with gold and sometimes both an artifact and gold.

In Heroes III, the hero fights wights and wraiths and is rewarded with gold and artifacts. Visiting the wreck after someone has claimed the treasure gives the hero -1 morale in the next combat.

In Heroes V, the hero fights ghosts, skeletons, zombies, and wights, and is rewarded with gold and artifacts. The wrecked galleon also has two functionally identical counterparts called wrecked galley and wrecked junk, which differ only in appearance and flavour text.

In Heroes VI, the hero fights ghosts and specters and is rewarded with gold and artifacts.
