Them is to Us, As Eskimo is to ???

i'm trying to come up with puzzles/riddles that one can't google... at least, i hope, not easily and quickly google. i like the puzzler that princess offered because it's not easily googled, if it can be googled at all.

Damnit, I leave work and miss all these riddles? Ok, not so damnit, because, outside of Peach's triangle one, I have heard all the others. Up to this eskimo thingy...I'll have to put some thought into that.

Here, here's one for you guys to puzzle over...although Buckguy has a point - if you bastards are googling for the answers, you are cheating. Ask questions!

On a fine sunny day a ship was in the harbor. All of a sudden the ship began to sink. There was no storm and nothing wrong with the ship yet it sank right in front of the spectators eyes.
What caused the ship to sink?

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

yeah, i liked peach's triangle, too. sorry, princess. had to.

good luck with my puzzler. it's not a riddle. the answer is real.

That's what sucks about this...if you like riddles, chances are you've heard the majority of these.

What caused the ship to sink?

A torpedo?

Gas escaping from the ocean bottom?

Was the ship being scuttled/foundered?

I'm stumped by the eskimo analogy...

I'm happy to say I've never heard FKA's riddle! Were there passengers on the ship?

Without cheating, the tide went out?

Good guess...

 

[osugrad21]

it was a submarine that had surfaced...

 

[BB73]

I think I like the sub answer better

 

[ScarletInMyVeins]

but FKA said it was a ship... do you really consider a submarine a ship?

 

[PrincessPeach]

Yeah, I'm not sure if a submarine is a "ship." Why were there spectators there?

Did the spectators expect the ship to sink?
