Suppose that a schooner of 260 tonnes displacement {34 m long at the waterline and 44 m overall length, with a beam of 8.3 m and a (maximum safe) draught of 5 m} were being used to carry cargo that was unusually dense — not bullion bars, but dense enough that load was the limiting factor and tonnage was not a binding constraint.

How many tonnes (mass) could such a ship carry safely?
