Correct. A ship will displace a mass of water equal to its weight and has fuck all#2 to do with its shape.

Displacement is because of the mass , but the volume displaced depends on the volum of the object ,1 cubic meter of water is displaced for 1 cubic meter of iron but the mass of the water displaced isn't equal with the mass of iron so the object doesn't float . This is why the shape of the ship is important
Try this. You are in a boat in lake and in that boat you have a large cannon ball.
Now throw the cannon ball over the side, does the water level in the lake go up or down?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
