Rocks sink because they are denser than water, causing them to displace less water and therefore sink. Metal objects sink due to their high density, which makes them heavier than water and causes them to sink. Sunken ships sink because they take on water, increasing their overall weight and causing them to sink below the water's surface.

Did the rms aquitania sink?
No, the Aquitania did not sink, so rather it just became old and run down after a longtime from carring so many passengers and taking so many voyages. When a piano had fallen through the roof of one of the dining rooms above the deck, this truly signalled the end of the Aquitania's operational life. The vessel was retired and scrapped in 1950 in Scotland, thus ending an illustrious career which included steaming 3 million miles in 450 voyages. Aquitania carried 1.2 million passengers over a career that spanned nearly 36 years, making her the longest serving Express Liner of the 20th Century. She was the only major liner to serve in both World Wars, and she was scrapped as the last four funnelled passenger ship. Her wheel and a detailed scale model of Aquitania may be seen in the Cunard exhibit at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.
