Want this question answered?
Titanic was a big ship. Even with a big hole in its side, it took awhile for enough water to leak in and sink the ship.
yes it would be cause its heavier than wood. im only a very smart kid writing this so dont judge me if this is wrong...
they were on the very bottom of the ship and when it started to sink, they were locked in so they couldn't get off the boat
If a ship has no buoyancy, then it will sink. In the tragedy of the RMS Titanic, the ship sank due to a collision with an iceberg, which ripped through the underside of the boat. Also the fact that they were going at an incredibly slow speed.
The prow; the front of the ship.
Polo's ship sank because there was a hole in the bottom and it flooded the ship, but as you can tell Marco Polo didn't drown, only about 20% of his crew did, I hope this helped. :)

no but it did get a hole in it from the great barrier reef
a hole.
Usually, all the water surrounding a boat is under the boat and not over the boat. A hole on the deck of a ship is nowhere near all the seawater, since the hole is high up there. A hole in the bottom would be like right next to the water, so the water would flow in and slowly fill up the whole ship, making it less buoyant, and then it will sink.
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.

A wrecked ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
Ships can sink anywhere, not just in the Black Sea, for instance if the ship gets a hole that lets water in.
Titanic struck an iceberg and ripped a hole in the hull, causing the ship to sink.
The iceburg made a hole in the sip and water started to leek in the ship then it got filled with water and it split in 2
