    Well… When you put one of those huge tankers in the water, it will move a LOT of water out of the way.

    As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.

    As you keep loading up the tanker with more cargo, it will go deeper into the water right? But this means that it is pushing more water out of the way (the water that used to be where the boat now is), which balances out the weight because that creates more buoyancy.

    A rock, on the other hand, is heavier than the water that it displaces, so it sinks like a tanker whose front fell off.

      But steel is heavier than water

        And water is surprisingly heavy itself.

        If you take 1kg of steel and 1kg of water, which is heavier? That’s right, steel is heavier.

          If she weighs more than a duck, then she’s made of wood.

        Ah, but boats aren’t solid steel! It has lots of hollow spaces inside, making the volume up displaced water bigger, without increasing the weight!

      Metal is heavier than water. Virtually every containber is fille to the brim with products, now I don’t know you but most everything we buy is heavier than water.

      It’s clear they have some kind of extra propulsion in those, most likely magnetic anti gravitation.
