They thought they were lunar "seas" like the oceans on earth. They are actually vast plains. But even today, they are still called "seas".Many early astronomers thought the dark spots on the moon were "seas". That is how all the lunar maria got their name, such as "Mare Tranquillitatis" which translates into "The Sea of Tranquility".
