——>The ark would have been built like a barge.

A barge with 3 stories? Don’t think so.

Genesis 6:
15And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

16A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

You dont pay much attention to ship design do you.

When you understand design of craft and how they do in certain conditions you’ll soon understand that a rectangle design would be way more stable than a craft designed to be powered through the water.

Besides that..it was built to just float like a raft.
They have done studies on that very thing and having built scaled models and tried them in extreme conditions, the rectangle design stayed afloat where the typical boat design failed.

Marine Engineering classes taught at Sturgeon Bay WI by ship designers from Bay Ship builders taught us that when I went to tech college back in the day. That is why they call Great Lakes Freighters BOATS.

Myself and those of my class will have quite a bit more information on things like that than you might find interesting if you cared to know anything about it.

BTW..before you go off on..”It’ll tip over” there is a thing called ballast.
