Laid up

If a ship was laid up, it meant that she was dismantled, disabled or moored, either for lack of employment or because she was unfit for sea service.

Ships “Laid up" in the Medway, by unknown, c. 1675 (x)

On land, a person is said to be laid up if they are ill or disabled and unable to carry out their daily activities.

I was worried this one was going to be all reasonable and boring but Brian really pulled off a brilliant recovery at the end there. 10/10.
