A ship can sink. Only a person (or an animal) can drown.

Harsha explained difference between drowned and sank. So the sentence is wrong with the word drowned.

"drowned" means submerging into the water..
"sank" means pass through or penetrate into water..so i think the difference lies in the usage of "got" before the word drowned..
am i correct?
