It is dangerous for a ship to be too lightly loaded because then it floats with less volume inside water. As a result,its centre of gravity is higher and it may get blown over on its side by strong winds.Therefore, an unloaded ship is filled with sand or stones,called ballast,at its bottom.This lowers its centre of gravity so that the equilibrium of ship becomes more stable.
The hull is the outer shell of a ship. It generally included the frames ("ribs") that form the ship's shape, and the outer planking (wood) or plating (iron, steel, fiberglass) that covers the frames and makes the vessel watertight and strong.
The fall line was the furthest point that a ship or boat could come up the river. Goods were unloaded, carried above the fall line, and placed on another boat. This transfer point lent itself to warehouses and trading posts.
The ship floats because of its large volume which displaces an amount of water that is more than its weight. That creates an upward force called buoyant force which keeps the ship on the surface.

Free surface effect affects the stability of a system due to change in centre of gravity of the system. it is generally used in respect of ships and crafts. The change in centre of gravity occur due to change in distribution of mass when a ship make movement. This movement may be due to sharp turns (operational) or due to the natural reasons such as wind or wave forces acting on the ship. The mass distribution in a ship changes due to the liquid heads available in the ship makes the movement. Since, the liquid head keeps it level in line with waterline thus centre of gravity of liquid mass moves with the movement of liquid head in the ship. This typically happens in the cases when ship is holding partially filled fuel tanks and water tanks. This causes instability and may leads to overturning of ship. To prevent the same, smaller capacity tanks are being used distributed properly arround the centreline. The hull should also be kept watertight under bad weather conditions
maybe for ballast, or maybe the sand is the ship's cargo
they can, but it may not be effective.
a port is the place where a ship unloads and loads goods.
As cargo is being unloaded, the weight of the ship decreases. This reduction in weight causes the ship to displace less water, resulting in a buoyant force that gradually lifts the ship higher in the water. This process continues until the ship reaches a new equilibrium where its weight is balanced by the buoyant force.
why is there stones in the bottom of the santa maria ship
A container ship carries packet containers that can be loaded or unloaded directly for rail , road or air transport.Tankers carry liquid products such as oil, crude petroleum etc.
The ship sank to the bottom of the ocean.
a ship wreck is when a ship sinks and floats to the bottem of the ocean were it is filled with water and creatures of the sea.
the bottom
I bet you it's a Camelbecause they're always used on the sand and they carry goods along the sand like a ship does.
Yes. It has to be unloaded and secured, you have to declare it, and the firearm itself has to be legal both at the point of origin and at the destination.
