Because normally when ships sail they start in a harbour near the sea. The sea is filled with salt witch allows it to float much easier when people swim the swim in a pool or river with no salt in it. I think.

Why do ships sink in the black sea?
Ships can sink anywhere, not just in the Black Sea, for instance if the ship gets a hole that lets water in.
Will ships float or sink in fresh water?
Ships float in fresh water too. Only a little deeper, since fresh water is less dense than salt water.
Why do boats float and ships sink?
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.
Why do ships sink only below water while others sink to bottom floor of water after the have have been sunk?
Ships that don't sink to the bottom are either Submarines or have a buoyancy system inside that does not rely on the hull being water proof. (water tight) Some vessels have remained just at the surface for years after being lost due to the flotation the cargo provided. A cargo of lumber comes to mind supporting the vessel just at the surface as it drifted around the North Atlantic for over 18 months. Vessels that sink immediately are simply relying on the hull being water tight and once they fill with water down they go.
Why do ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water in respect to?
Salt water is more dense than fresh water. So when you're in salt water you float more than when you are in fresh water

Why ship doenot sink in ocean?
Ships don't sink in the ocean because the air pressure pushes the ship upward and keeps it buoyant-------------------------------- Ships don't sink because the overall density of the ship is lower than the density of the salt water and it displaces its weight's equivalent of water using only a portion of the ship's volume.
