or in it maybe if it has already sunk before going into space?
Depending on the relative positions of the boat and the water when it is exposed to the extremely cold temparatures, I would think the boat would retain the same relative position after freezing.
This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernames
I don't think it would work, but anyway, the temperature in space is so low that the water would be frozen. The ship would sit on top of a lump of ice.
wouldn't "on top" imply that the ice were below the boat?.....
and if there was no gravity.... Shirley "Up" and "Down"/"Above" and "Below" would be somewhat meaningless.... ie Isn't it gravity "sucking" that defines "down" for us......
Depending on the temperature and pressure. At low enough pressure and high enough temperature (to overcome molecular forces), the water would be everywhere, like a cloud.
Gravity
You just hold me down so quietly
You just pull me down to earth
Let me grow into the depths of your infinity
I can sense your presence in the vicinity...
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

Would take a loooong time to freeze a sea in space i reckon. I'd say by then, all the water would have drifted off all over the shop in icy clumps and the boat would be sea-less.
They should pack everyone on sickness benefits into the QE2 and try it.

Only asking!
Everything has some gravity.

In Star Trek physics Spaceship orientation is absolute, meaning ships are always the same way up. Except when one spaceship has been hit, in which case it will be at an angle or the other way up.
