Oh yes, containers float all right. Frequently /just/ below the surface. A friend
was dam' nearly sunk in the Sound of Jura by running over a submerged container
(it was afloat all right - there's 200m of water where it happened): just managed
to get the boat in and beached in time.
Floating containers are a real hazard.
