Acts 27:39-41

American Standard Version

³⁹ And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could ^[a]drive the ship upon it. ⁴⁰ And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. ⁴¹ But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
