Displacement hull. As long as the volume of air buoyancy inside the hull is greater than the weight of the hull, it floats. Get enough water inside the hull and it sinks regardless of water depth. Think of all of the ships made of steel plate. Without a displacement hull shape, steel sinks like well....an anchor. ;-)

Granted for simplicity I was using the word displacement liberally, but by your definition 'Things float because their weight is less than the weight of the water the object displaces.', steel and concrete weigh less than water.

Archimedes' principle states that an object fully or partly immersed in a liquid is buoyed upward by a force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by that object.
Interior volume cu.ft.> Weight of hull and occupants. 1 cu. ft. of water= 62lbs. Salt water is heavier 62.4lbs
Interior volume cu.ft.> Weight of hull and occupants. 1 cu. ft. of water= 62lbs. Salt water is heavier 62.4lbs
