Jahre Viking, crude oil tanker
The bouyancy of the vessel keeps it afloat. As long as the force of bouyancy is larger then the mass of the ship it will stay afloat.
The superstructure is the part of a ship above the main deck, carried by the ship but not responsible for keeping it afloat.
The U.S.S. Constitution never sank!!! To this day it is a commissioned ship in the United States Navy and still operational and afloat. Although she is not the oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat (HMS Victory is about 30 years older), the USS Constitution holds the title of being the world's oldest commissioned naval veseel AFLOAT.

Big aircraft carriers weigh in at 110 thousand tons. I do not know of anything heavier.
Simply put, White Star Lines had the largest ship afloat constructed for them, and they outfitted it with nothing but the best. That's why Titanic was so expensive.

When the ship sank I used a lifebelt to help me keep afloat.
A ship stays afloat on water due to the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the ship is displaced by an equal volume of water, creating an upward force called buoyancy that keeps the ship from sinking. The shape and design of the ship's hull help distribute the weight and control buoyancy to keep the ship stable and afloat.
The ship was designed and built to stay afloat if four watertight compartments were breached, but the iceberg breached five compartments, so the ship couldn't stay afloat
A ship stays afloat as long as the buoyant force pushing up on the ship's hull is greater than the force of gravity pulling the ship down. This buoyant force is generated by the displaced water and is proportional to the weight of the water the ship displaces.

Inside NCIS - 2012 Ship Set Set Afloat 1-5 was released on: USA: 12 December 2012
The ship has enough gas in it to keep it afloat.
The main area of Titanic was her dining room. The dining room in 1st class was the largest room afloat, with a capacity of 550. It had a dance floor but dancing was not permitted on Sundays.
