Lying in a well-known sea there is a ship that is worth many millions of pounds. The valuable ship completed its long haul to the destination but it was not able to make the return journey.

I like it, clever.
Nice like that one.
But the whole moon landing was faked by the Americans during the cold war.

Thats a trivia question.. not a trick teaser.....
I thought it was the Titanic.
Same as icehevan, I thought it was the Titanic, and it is kinda a trivia question, but good one
Actually I thought it was the Queen Mary or whatever it is that now sits out at Las Vegas. Is that right or did I dream it?
good one. I will fool many people with this one.
I thought it was the boat from the Boston tea party
I thought the ships name was "So". The passage did refer to the ship as "So the ship". I had no idea there was space module stuck on the moon.
I thought it's name was "Abandoned Ship" at first because of the title. I liked this teaser though

This one's on my "favorites" list!
silly me i was thinkin Noah's Ark
This is weird but i thought it was friendship
i thought it was the titanic and it dosent belong in trivia becuse its a trick question
oh i don't know, it sounds like a trivia question to me - you need to know all sorts of things, like the name of the sea on the moon (that the moon even has seas), the names of the space ships that land there, etc....
i guess "polly woodside" (which is a boat which is on exhibit on a museum in melbourne) simply because it's the only boat i know of that is dry docked (damn that hint)

I got it. I thought for a long time, and then I realized that the moon had "seas". (from another teaser) So, I looked it up, and I saw it. Yah me!
How is that a trick!
Very well done teaser. The got ones are already crying the woes and more to come I'm sure with this teaser. Keep up the good work.
I thought Titanic, too. Well, it fits, so I guess there's a second answer after all, huh?
Shows what I know -- I didn't even know there was an abandoned spacecraft on the moon! As for the Titanic, there have been attempts to recover it.
To all those who ask how's it a trick:
the teaser makes you think of a regular seafaring ship, sunken in a regular sea of water!
when it turns out to be a space ship on the moon, well that's what you call a .......oh what's the point

Good one
this was hard because it belongs in the trivia catagory. it was good but i was looking for the trick and there was none.
It's trivia. I didn't know about the Eagle, but I definitely know about the Sea of Tranquility!
