the stricken vessel lay dangerously on her side

It is a press cliche for any damaged boat, e.g.:-
--Woman's body found aboard stricken Italian cruise ship
--Captain of Stricken Vessel Says He Fell Overboard in Passenger Panic
Is there any site where I can read Greek newspapers? Thanks!

We don't have a good adjective to do the job, I think. We use more specific words to describe a stricken ship, such as το ναυαγισμένο πλοίο, το βυθισμένο πλοίο, το μισοβυθισμένο σκάφος, το προσαραγμένο σκάφος.

Newspapers:
For your purposes, I would recommend starting with Kathimerini: http://www.kathimerini.gr/
 
Many thanks Nickel!

I'm already on to the newspaper and avidly reading it! Thanks too for the shipping terms.

Το χτυπημένο πλοίο / πληγωμένο σκάφος / λαβωμένο σκαρί έγερνε / είχε γείρει / ήταν γερμένο επικίνδυνα, for the cliche, with varying flavours of drama and "poetic licence".
