1. Buoyancy and Displacement:
* The ship wouldn't tip like that. A ship's center of gravity is typically below its center of buoyancy. This means that when a ship leans, the buoyant force (water pushing up) acts to right the ship.
* The ship shouldn't float on its side. The ship's hull is designed to displace water when it's upright, providing the buoyant force to keep it afloat. When on its side, the hull isn't designed to do this, and the ship would likely sink.
2. Stability and Center of Gravity:
* The ship would lose stability quickly. When a ship tips, its center of gravity shifts, making it harder to right itself. Eventually, the ship would capsize completely.
* The mast wouldn't stay upright. With the ship tilted, the mast would topple over due to gravity and lack of support.
3. Fluid Dynamics:
* Water wouldn't flow like that. The water flow around the ship wouldn't be the smooth, controlled motion depicted in the movie. A real ship tipped on its side would experience chaotic water flow and turbulence.
4. Human Physiology:
* People wouldn't be able to stand or move freely. The tilted deck would create an extremely unstable environment, making it nearly impossible for the crew to walk around or fight.
* The ship wouldn't be able to sail. A ship on its side wouldn't be able to catch wind in its sails effectively, and the uneven pressure would make steering impossible.
In short, the scene is pure cinematic spectacle and ignores the real-world laws of physics for the sake of dramatic effect. It's an entertaining fictional scene, but it wouldn't be possible in real life.
