The Plimsoll line in fresh water marks the maximum point to which a ship can be loaded safely without sinking. In salt water, the same principle applies, but the Plimsoll line will be slightly lower due to the higher density of salt water compared to fresh water. This ensures that ships are loaded appropriately for different water conditions to maintain stability and safety.
Archimedes principle led to the Plimsoll Line, which is marks painted near the bows of a ship. Basically, a ship on salt water floats higher and can carry more cargo. While a ship on fresh water will float lower and can safely carry less cargo. Samual Plimsoll introduced the Plimsoll Line to solved the hazard of capsizing posed by overloading a ship.
