On the contrary: The English politician and reformer, Samuel Plimsoll, devised the Plimsoll Line to prevent the overloading of ships. Ships float higher on salt water, and lower on fresh water. So the Plimsoll Line, painted on the bow of a ship, indicates the mark past which the ship must not pass - or it would be overloaded.

Why are buoyancy and plimsoll line related?

Buoyancy is the force that allows a ship to float on water, and the Plimsoll line is a reference mark on a ship's hull to indicate the maximum safe loading depth. By observing the Plimsoll line, ship operators can ensure that the ship is not overloaded, maintaining a proper balance between the weight of the ship and the buoyant force of the water to prevent sinking.
