No, ocean water can’t sink steel boats
It’s a well known fact that steel weighs the same as feathers
A common misunderstanding. Boats (made of rock) float due to gravity pushing the water up (as it bounces off the earth). Boats made of feathers (ducks) harness the same principle, as they are also filled with water.
