	I see you took my suggestion. Thanks!

	@Kitty21 (archives): You're right about Hardy, but the game says 'captains, pilots and expedition leaders'. You might say Nelson was the leader of the British fleet at Trafalgar, if not Lord Collingwood.

	It's true that Christopher Columbus was the leader of the expedition that included the Santa María, the Pinta and the Niña, but wouldn't it be better to put "Santa María" as the clickable answer? That was the ship actually commanded by Columbus (the Pinta and the Niña were commanded by the Pinzón brothers).

	Strictly speaking, Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 were the mission designations, not the ships/vessels themselves. The spacecraft had their own names - Columbia/Eagle for 11 and Odyssey/Aquarius for 13.

	I did a lot better than I thought I would!

	For Queeg I was really surprised I could find neither the Red Dwarf or the Jimmy Carter. Caine Mutiny too highbrow for me, obviously.

	Sully. What a boss.

	It's terrible that I mostly only managed the fictional ones. Solo, Sparrow, Noah etc.

	No love for Malcolm Reynolds/Serenity? Lol

	You forgot "The Seaward" with the lead expedition magician GOB Bluth.

	@Rhys I think some would contend that Noah was not fictional

	It's no surprise "Ark" is the most guessed answer. There was only a ship with that name, while for other ships (surface, submarine, air or space) there are lots of different kinds with lots of different proper names. Asking the name of the ship commanded by Noah is like asking the name of the car driven by Batman.

	Dancastro, it wasn't the Noahboat, or even the Noahmobile. The bible is the best selling book, with marginally higher sales than 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and much higher sails than Kon Tiki

	Very fun quiz! And nice URL :P...

	Rhys:	Apr 26th, 2012 at 16:03 GMT		3 points
	@witz1960 That was my point. The existence of Noah is about as likely as that of Han Solo.

	Should have put Captain Hendrick Vanderdecken and the Flying Dutchman on here. Only managed 11 but I have little nautical knowledge.

	On the first episode of Gilligan's Island all of the S.S. Minnow passangers were named on the radio. The Skipper is Captain Jonas Grumby

	So few people know Jack Aubrey!? I am, well, surprised.

	I called up my boyfriend and told him thanks for getting me to read the Aubrey-Maturin novels, so I could answer the least-well-known question in a Sporcle quiz. He was somehow not that impressed.

	My brain is broken. I see the name "Noah," and think "That's from that one Jules Verne book," thinking of Captain Nemo from "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." So, naturally, I click on the Pequod (knowing full well that was the ship from Moby Dick). That was wrong, obviously, so when Captain Nemo actually showed up, I clicked the Pequod again, still not realizing that the Pequod wasn't in 20,000 Leauges Under the Sea at all. At least I got Captain Ahab right. Later I realized that the "Noah" I saw earlier was probably referring to the biblical Noah, which would fit since "Ark" is one of the choices. See? My brain=broken.

	You could throw in Captain Planet, but calling the Earth a vessel would be a bit of a stretch by conventional terms.

	In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Captain Kirk also captained an HMS Bounty (a Klingon vessel).
