All of the Apollo spacecraft landed in the ocean, which is where they were designed to land.
3/26/10--The USSR landed their spacecraft on dry land because they had endless expanses of dry land to use. NASA chose the ocean because it was considered a safer landing surface and even if they missed the target by hundreds of miles, the thing still landed in water. The Apollo capsules were designed to float for a period of time and had some floatation aids onboard which could be deployed, as well as a liferaft. When recovering the astronauts, Navy Seals would attach a floatation collar to the capsule, then extract the astronauts. The floatation collar kept the capsule afloat long enough to be recovered aboard the ship. Since Apollo 13 never landed on the moon, the astronauts were not quarantined aboard the Iwo Jima and were free to wander around.
