The list of shipwrecks in 1852 includes some ships sunk, wrecked or otherwise lost during 1852.
This American whaler in the Arctic had been lying-to in a gale for 4 days when the depth began to shoal and before they could get under way she grounded on a sand bank and was lost. The sea being too rough for the boats, 5 men were drowned using spars to get ashore. They survived with hospitality from the indigenous people. Between February and April 1853 some parties attempted the 225 miles to Cape Dezhnev cross the ice, the remainder were rescued by the Bremen ship Joseph Haydon on 2 July who had heard of the wreck and had been searching for them.[3]

This American whaler, under Captain William Swain, was wrecked on the reef of Mangaia on the night of 25th December when she drifted on in a calm, there being no bottom outside the reef for anchors to hold. There was no loss of life. The Captain had high praise for the help of 22 native canoes that helped unload crew and provisions.[6]
