Ship Wreck generates in Plains, Ocean, Swamp, Black Forest, within 10,000 m from the centre of the world, with 400 placement attempts per world. Worlds are seed-generated, so that band is the answer to "where" — it holds for every seed, which a marked map does not.
How it is placed
The count is placement ATTEMPTS per world, not a guarantee: the generator gives up on a spot that fails the biome, altitude or spacing test, so a cramped world ends up with fewer.

Variants 16
The generator runs 16 separate rules for Ship Wreck. Each is its own model with its own attempt count, which is why the world total is the sum rather than one of them.

Also in Plains, Ocean, Swamp, Black Forest
Ship Wreck is placed by the world generator rather than built, so there is no coordinate to give you — but the rule behind it narrows the search considerably. It belongs to Plains, Ocean, Swamp, Black Forest, has to land within 10,000 m from the centre of the world, and the generator makes 400 attempts at it. Sail out along the band rather than sweeping the map, and check the biome first.

Where to find Ship Wreck in Valheim
Where is Ship Wreck in Valheim?
In Plains, Ocean, Swamp, Black Forest. There is no fixed position — worlds are generated from their seed — and this one carries no distance restriction, so it can turn up anywhere the biome does.
How many Ship Wreck are in a Valheim world?
The generator makes 400 attempts. Each one can fail the biome, altitude, spacing or terrain check and be thrown away, so that is a ceiling rather than a count — a world short on the right biome ends up with fewer.
Can two Ship Wreck generate next to each other?
No. Two have to be at least 1,024 metres apart, so finding one tells you where the next is NOT. Search outward from it rather than around it.
Which biome does Ship Wreck spawn in?
Plains, Ocean, Swamp, Black Forest. Biome is only half the rule though: this one also has to sit between -1 and 1 in altitude, so the right biome at the wrong height produces nothing. That is why a location can feel absent from a region you have walked end to end.
Why does Ship Wreck appear in different places?
Because its placement rules number 16, and each one can name its own biome, distance band and altitude range. The world generator tries them in turn, so two copies of the same location can sit in terrain that looks nothing alike — they matched different rules, not the same one twice.
