A loaded ship is going to sink into the water more,causing water to displace..
The ship will float lower. Even though the foam balls are lighter than water they are still heavier than the air they replace in the ship's hold making the ship heavier than an empty one.
A stone has a greater density than water; a ship, less.
due to Archimedes principle
It depends on the boyancy of the material and the location of the holes. A ship holed below the waterline will sink. A body board with holes in will float.
A loaded ship is going to sink into the water more,causing water to displace..
A ship that weighs 1,000 pounds displaces 1,000 pounds of water. Basically you are making a hole in the water that would take 1,000 pounds of water to fill, if it was Jell-o you could see the hole when you took the ship out. If you add 100 pounds of weight to the ship, be it feathers, foam, or lead, it will sink deeper and displace 100 more pounds of water.

The main difference is weight of course. When fully loaded, the ships airdraft is considerably reduced, as you can definitely see the ship is more 'in the water', or more immersed. When not loaded, or 'In ballast', the ship has several ballast tanks which are filled up with sea water in order to weigh the ship down a little, so as for it to not capsize with strong winds/rogue waves. And a ship's hull/bulbous bow, etc.. are designed to operate/navigate within a certain Loadline, hence the need to keep the ship immersed within certain parameters.
A ship won't sink if the density of the ship (metal, wood, cargo, any included air) is less than the density of water.
It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.

A boat will sink if there is a hole in the hull below the water level. Or, if too much cargo is loaded, sinking the boat (ship) so low in the water that it either capsizes, or the water cascades inboard over the sides of the boat.
lady in blue was an indian ship going with so much treasure tht it sink down in water and is never seen again all the treasure is in the deep water............................................
due to Archimedes principle
The air (within the ship) is less dense than water.,
