Water represents the unconscious mind, and the unknown. Hundreds of years ago, when countries had yet to "discover" and map the globe, no one knew what was beyond the ocean, and in that sense it literally was the unknown.
I'm not entirely sure why water is seen as reflective of the unconscious mind, however. But; people stay above the water; above the subconscious mind, only treading on the surface. Their fears live under the surface, i.e. the great white whale in Moby Dick and the legend of the Kraken. Also; when sailors or passengers are "lost at sea"--as long as they're still alive--it can be seen as drifting through their unconscious mind.
Take my answer with a grain of salt, it is second hand information after all.
