On those container ships, like the one stuck in the Suez Canal, do they
ship anything below decks anymore?

What do they do with all the space?


They fill the space below decks with the *heavier* containers.

Is the deck at the same height as the top of the hull or is it like a
bowl now?


Depends on the design.

It seems like that one, the Ever Something, was top-heavy and a good
wave would make the whole thing tip over, or some of the containers fall
off.Â* No?

No. Container ships cannot be top heavy - they will tip if they are.

Container ships, like any other kind of ships, are loaded from the
bottom of the holds upwards. That's the way it has always been, that's
the way it will always be.


Well, yes. There actually are laws that make this so.
