The Plimsoll line, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plimsoll_Mark found on
the hull of large ships show that the weight of water varies with its
temperature. Perhaps the container sinks to a level where cooler water a
few feet below the surface supports it
Perhaps we can shed some light if any one here has an understanding of the
relationship between seawater specific density, depth, salinity, and
temperature.
That may have a bearing on why an object can apparently float beneath the
oceans' surface.
