This Sea of Tranquility is the site of the first ever "landing" on the Moon, which took place on July 20th, 1969. The mission was called Apollo 11. Neil Armstrong was the first man to set a foot on the Moon. Right after him, in the same ship, "Buzz" Aldrin followed his steps. Their partner, Mitchell, stayed in the Mother Ship, surrounding the Moon.

Mare Tranquillitatis (Latin for Sea of Tranquility) is a lunar mare that sits within the Tranquillitatis basin on Earth's moon. The mare material within the basin consists of basalt in the intermediate to young age group of the Upper Imbrian epoch. The surrounding mountains are thought to be of the Lower Imbrian epoch, but the actual basin is probably Pre-Nectarian. The basin has irregular margins and lacks a defined multiple-ringed structure. The irregular topography in and near this basin results from the intersection of the Tranquillitatis, Nectaris, Crisium, Fecunditatis, and Serenitatis basins with two throughgoing rings of the Procellarum basin. Palus Somni, on the northeastern rim of the mare, is filled with the basalt that spilled over from Tranquillitatis.
In 1965, the Ranger 8 spacecraft crashed in Mare Tranquillitatis, after successfully transmitting 7,137 photographs of the moon in the final 23 minutes of its mission. This mare also served as the landing site for the Apollo 11 lunar module, the first manned landing on the Moon. The landing area at 0.8° N, 23.5° E has been designated Statio Tranquillitatis, and three small craters to the north of the base have been named Aldrin, Collins and Armstrong in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts.

The answer of cress is OK as far as Moon is concerned. This sea is a place on the moon.
But you must also be knowing 'Prashant mahasagar'( Pacific ocean). The term "Prashant" is a Hindi word which means tranquil. In that sense the answer would be Prashant mahasagar.
