prettygoodwordnaufragous - adj. (rare) of, pertaining to, or causing a shipwreck.
There's a slightly less rare noun naufrage, meaning a shipwreck, from Latin naufragium, from navis, ship + frangere, to break + -ium, noun ending. I can't see actually using this in any but the most strained circumstances, but I like that it exists.
