But with this problem you have answered your question , that shape does matter.
It’s not shape, it’s volume, which is a combination of both dimension and shape.
Take a normally bouyant ship, keep its mass and shape exactly the same, but reduce its dimension by 50%, and it will sink faster than the land of the free under Donald Trump.

A ship that sinks under its own weight isn't a ship, its a piece of shit.
Unless it is designed to serve a purpose by sinking.
