Welcome to CFC 
and this truly is a good one
could you also post a save of this - just to ensure that the people who do the bugfixing have all they need
Also this should be in the BtS Bug Report Section...

When war is declared, all of your units are moved to the closest movable space. In this case, you trireme was moved to the closest water space.
well, you know...duh...but I'd like to think that it wouldn't completely transplant it inland to a single square body of water in a city i don't control.
here's the previous autosave and a save right after it happened (same turn, I don't even think i moved anything else).

good - now lets hope that this gets fixed. I just clicked through the game and at the IBT to 880 AD the war declaration happens and the ship is teleported - not even to that water tile but to the adjacent city which is totally landbound and cannot build any sea related buildings not ships, this should definitely be checked.
However you *could* free your ship by closing borders with them and have it teleported away again, you should rename it to the flying dutchman though

Actually, I'm not going to fix it in that fashion at all. The problem wasn't that it was teleporting to a freshwater lake, the problem was that it was teleporting city to city. Basically, when the game is trying to find a spot to "bump" a unit, it weights all the tiles on the map, and then picks the lowest weighted tile to move it to. As part of the weighting process, tiles that are in a different area* than tile the unit is currently in are given 3x the weighting, making it very unlikely they'll be chosen.
The problem here is that because the unit was in a city, the area it was in was considered to be land. Therefore every water tile was considered to be in a different area and was given the 3x weighting. So it ended up finding the closest available city and sticking your ship there.
* Two tiles are considered to be part of the same "area", in game terms, if you can travel from one to the other without leaving the current domain. So if it's two land tiles, then you need to be able to travel between them via land, if two water, then via water. A land and water tile are never part of the same area

how's this one grab you. 2 things.
1) I start my game back up and find this waiting for me in my first turn: My caravel waiting in the middle of a desert
and 2) same game, a tile bug that was there since the beginning, but I went ahead and took a shot of
