Well yeah, but not by a noticable amount.

This is actually a quite intelligent question! Obviously you are familiar with the concept of how ships stay afloat through displacement of water.
Technically, yes, the level would drop. BUT the level in which this would drop would be imperceptible because you must factor the HUGE amount of water covering the earth versus the minute fraction of displacement from ships. The ratio must be enormous. Plus, tidal variations would also mask this change in level.
So the answer would be yes. But the truth is that the change would be (and please excuse the pun) just a drop in the ocean!

Probably not enough to measure. Ships seem pretty small in the entire scheme of how big the oceans are. Great question. I think I'll ask my middle school science classes that on Tuesday.

Theoretically sure, as a results of disaplacement of water and the gentle lowering in temperature. virtually, no, as a results of immeasurably small distinction, and likewise because of the fact the quantity could be smaller than alterations as a results of wind, rain, tides etc. additionally, it may take an quite long term for this sort of effect to even out.

That's a very good point -yes! That's why the sea's rising... people are building new and bigger boats all the time! I wonder if they take that into account when they're doing all these research projects

I would think it would go UP. Think of the weight of all the ships spreading the ocean further up on the shore - when they are all removed, the sea goes 'back' to it's usual depth!
Yes, I'm a true blonde.

Take a bow 'jellybelly' I think your question is brilliant! Yes! The level of the seas would drop! However, the amount by which it would drop would be so minuscule that it would make no difference whatsoever! Star for you!!!

Yeah, but the ocean's too large to make you notice the significant drop in the level.

Maybe a bit but answer this question yourself:
Do putting toy boats on your bath/toy floatin' ducks make the 'sea' level go down?
If you can answer that question-you have your answer to your other question!
Hope that helps :)

yes
ex. if i have a bubble bath and the water is really low if i sit in it the water will rise but if i get out then the water goes back to normal
