yes, if the water has salt in it it will be denser than if it does not, therefore the boat will float more easily e.g. the dead sea. if it's tap water or other water other factors will affect it.

Whow do iron boats float?

It does not matter what material a boat is made of. Its mass divided by its volume is how to find out the density of the boat. And with water being 1cm cubed a object has to be smaller than 1 cm cubed to be able to float in fresh water. And with a steel boat, it is very heavy so its mass is a lot but this is why they have to make big boats. A bid boats volume is enormous so in the end its volume is more than its mass so it is under 1 cm cubed so it can float. But it is different in different kind of waters like salty water. That has a density of over 1cm cubed so captains can fill their boat more which adds more mass but is ok as sea water has a higher density. And the dead sea , which has a very high density so humans can float on in it so a boat could fill itself right to the top as the dead sea's density is very high. That is where the plimsoll line comes in as that shows the captain's how much the they can fill their boats before they will sink. So in the end yes a steel boat can float as its density is less than fresh water with means that it will float.
