This actually happened with Titanic. The only way the boat can sink is if the boat has a giant hole in it. A boat floats on water, but what happens is the water from the ocean or lake or whatever goes into the boat. As the water fills up the boat, the boat justs get very heavy. and it goes down deep in the water.

Example: The titanic hit an iceberg and it made huge holes on the side of the boat. So water went in the basement and It the water went up to every floor and boat got so heavy. And when the boat was rising up it go SO heavy that it snapped in half

example: Also a rock can sink. when you throw a rock in the water it sinks because the rock is soooo heavy
