Riddle

Through its wounds, water does run. It once held many but now has none. What is it?

Choose an answer

A.A submarine
B.A lighthouse
C.An island
D.A shipwreck
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 10 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

A shipwreck

Why this is the answer

A shipwreck's hull is breached ('wounded') so water flows freely through it, and though it once carried passengers, it now sits empty on the seafloor.
