Cruise ships may weigh hundreds of thousands of tons, but they're still some of the best floaters out there. Of water equal to their mass (the wide, U-shaped hull helps with this). But a boat actually has a lot of open space. After all, the ocean is massive—and extremely dense. All Consent Allowed.
