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.
