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

Why does a ship float at different levels depending on the type of water?
A ship floats at different levels in freshwater and saltwater because saltwater is denser than freshwater. The denser the water, the higher the ship will float. This is due to the buoyant force acting on the ship, which is influenced by the density of the surrounding water.
Why do ship sink deeper in fresh water than in salt water?
Any thing from people to ships are more buoyant in freshwater than in saltwater. Buoyancy is determined by the downward and upward force of an object. Also, saltwater weighs more than freshwater, so objects are more buoyant in the heavier water.
