i was taught that on the moon, your weight would be 11% of your weight on earth.

N o! the upthrust can not act at a distance because it acts on the centre of gravity of the object submerged in water in the opposite direction of weight.
Why Does Gravitational Force Not Act Horizontally?
Because the earth behaves like a magnetic field with the center of the earth pulling everything towards it.... do the math.
What does center of gravity have to do with stability?
Centre of gravity of a body is defined as the fixed point in the body through which the weight of the body would act in whatever position the body is kept. Hence if the CG is at higher point of the body then there will be more chances for falling or toppling. Because earth would always attract the body towards its centre. Hence as CG is at the lowest level as possible then the stability would increase. Hence in case of ships the CG will be maintained to be at most bottom so as to avoid toppling.
What does an object have to have for weight to act on it?
An object must have mass for there to be weight. There also must be another mass (such as Earth) that exerts a gravitational pull on the object for there to be weight.
