I'm trying to remember a classical art painting that shows a historical shipwreck, possibly quite a famous one (maybe the painting made it famous) -- some people are already in the water, drowning. Any leads? Thanks!

There are many...
Seascape with Shipwreck by Antonio Marini (1668-1725) 
The Shipwreck of Don Juan by Delacroix
(not technically what you're looking for)
The Shipwreck, 1772 by Claude Joseph Vernet
The Shipwreck, 1805 by William Turner
The Wreck of the Medusa, 1819 (?) by Theodore Gericault
