A ship will ride higher in salt water than it will in fresh water.
Archimedes principle states that an object floatingin a liquid will displace an amount of liquid equal to it's own weight. Salt water is more dense than fresh water.
Seawater weighs about 1025 kg·m-3 while fresh water weighs 1000 kg·m-3. Since the seawater is 2.5% heavier, a boat will sit higher when in it than when it is in fresh water
