List of ships sunk by icebergs
A non-exhaustive listing of ships which have sunk as a result of striking ice masses of larger than "growler" or pack size. Note that many vessels have been lost without a trace in seas containing icebergs; these are not listed due to other possible explanations and lack of survivor testimony.
