But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken by the violence of the waves.

1. They come to a place where the sea has washed sand from both sides. This creates an area where the water is very shallow. We would call it a sandbar.

2. The front of the ship rammed into this sandbar and was stuck there.

3. The back of the ship was still in the sea and being beaten and broken by the waves.
