About 360,000,000,000,000 tonnes
When you consider that removing all the ships from the ocean would only result in a drop in sea level of the order of a few millimetres you are going to need one enormous ship to raise the level one metre.

I think a ship capable of doing that would probably hit the ocean floor before the sea level rose above an extra metre. So it would have to be a huge ship dimensionally as well, which would also be impossible to float anywhere because there wouldn't be enough see area to float it on. I think you need an expert theoretician for this question!

the sea aspect has been growing fairly solid for over 100 years. it ought to extremely be compensated for by making use of arising tremendous synthetic lakes in low parts of the international. The crucial valley in California once had a lake as tremendous because the finished Salt Lake, even with the indisputable fact that it changed into destroyed by making use of guy. The Mississippi River floods almost each year causing thousands and thousands in damage. For a lot less money lets construct a tremendous lake alongside the fringe of the river which could remove the yearly flooding and remove most of the sea aspect upward push, Kill 2 birds with one stone. this can be environmentally very pleasant, arising new habitat for chook species.

The size of south America and with a draft of 2.6 meters. Good luck on the new project. There are over 100,000 sea going vessels in the world and combined they do next to nothing for sea level state.

Big would be an extreme understatement...
You would have to make assumptions to make it possible to answer this question. Among them would be things like what is the current volume of water in the sea, what would that volume be at the 1 meter increase in depth.
The boat would have to displace the difference between the two volumes of water. The weight of the boat would have to be the amount necessary to submerge the correct volume of the boat's hull.

Calculate the area of the earth using the sphere area formula, or look it up on line. Take 2 thirds of that and call it cubic meters. That's the volume of the hull that would be below the waterline of the ship that would have to be set in the ocean. There isn't enough material on this planet to make such a vessel.

A ship that would do that would be about as big as the Ross Shelf in Antarctica with a the surface area of Texas and Oklahoma combined .And it is expected to fall into the ocean with global warming.

The world's oceans cover 360 million sqKm, therefore the ship would have to displace 360,000,000,000 cu meters of salt water.
360.000.000.000 x 1027 kg/M3 = 369,720,000,000,000 kg =813,384,000,000,000 Lbs =406,692,000,000 tons.
The USS Missouri was 58,000t , so the ship would be 7,000,000 times larger than the Missouri. A big one!

With sea levels constantly changing with the ebb and flow of tides,it's an unsolvable problem since you wouldn't get the levels to stay static.

Why would you want to do that? I mean make the seas rise a meter. Do you know how much water would displace?
