Fresh water. Salt water is denser and therefore makes things more boyant. Ships have marks painted on the side of their hull, usually welded lines and then painted over, that show their load limits in salt and fresh water. These lines are known as Plimsol lines or International Load Lines.
What else can I help you with?
Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh water?
The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again. This link gives extra information and some simple experiments for you to try at home. http://www.kidsgen.com/school_projects/how_ships_float.htm
Why a ship sinks in the fresh water than the sea water?
A ship sinks faster in fresh water than in salt water because fresh water is less dense than salt water. This means that in fresh water, there is less buoyant force acting on the ship, causing it to sink more quickly. Salt water, being denser, provides more buoyant force which helps keep the ship afloat for longer.
Does fresh or salt water sink?
fresh water
What can float in salt water but sink in fresh water?
i think it is ppeople because they float in salt water and sink in fresh water.
Where will a body sink more in fresh water or in sea water?
Fresh water...
Why does fresh egg sink in fresh water?

Why a ship sinks more in fresh water than sea water?
A ship will sink more easily, when in fresh water instead of sea water, as the fresh water is less dense, due to a lack of salt in it. The density of any object affects how well it's able to float.
Can fresh water fish live in sink water?
no
Why did density have to do with salt and egg float?
Put an egg in fresh water and it will sink. Put the egg in heavily salted water and it will float near the surface. This is because the salt makes the water more dense and able to support more weight. The same goes for a ship. A ship will settle lower in fresh water and the same ship will float higher in the oceans.
Why do ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water in respect to?
Ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water because fresh water is less dense than salt water. This means that a ship will displace less water in fresh water compared to salt water, leading to less buoyancy and a higher likelihood of sinking. Additionally, fresh water lacks the buoyant force provided by dissolved salts in salt water.
Why does'nt a ship sink in water?
A ship won't sink if the density of the ship (metal, wood, cargo, any included air) is less than the density of water.
Why does egg sink in fresh water but in salt water it floats?
Salt water is denser than fresh.
