Provided the boats and the ships displace their weight in water without the water coming inboard, they will float and not sink. A boat made of wood is likely to float even when full of water because wood tends to float. It is all to do with displacement and freeboard.

Does mass alone determine whether an object will float or sink Explain?
No. The relationship between mass and displacement does. Think about ships and boats. If had a big block of steel with the same mass a cargo ship and put it in the water, then it would sink. The ship is shaped so that it displaces enough water to keep itself afloat. If you cut a hole in the bottom of the ship, and then weld that material the side of it, then you haven't changed the mass of it, but it will sink.
