Even though a bowling ball weighs less than a metal-hull ship a bowling ball in a bathtub sinks but a metal-hull ship in the ocean floats why?
The water that the hull in ship displaces is way more heavier than the hull itself, so the water surface holds the ship floating... If you had a bowling ball made of hull-material it would sink anyway.. What it does that the ship floats is the amount of displaced water, which in weight is going to be higher than the floating object's weight itself...
