Explanation
The answer to the Old ship with a horn? is TUBA.
"Old ship with a horn?" leads to the answer "TUBA," which is a clever play on words. At first glance, "old ship" might suggest a type of vessel, but in this case, it's a misdirection. The key lies in the word "horn," which refers to a brass instrument, and the tuba is indeed a horn in the musical sense.
The "old ship" part of the clue points toward an old word for a type of ship: a "tub," a slang term for a clumsy or heavy vessel. By combining "tub" with "a," the answer becomes "TUBA," uniting both the ship and horn aspects in a single, witty response.
