By being wood and steel and large amounts of air inside. (how does any boat stay afloat?)
What happens on the photo is that she dives nose-first into a big wave, and gets a huge wash of water over deck. I doubt anything more than wet feet was the result.
sure, what do you want to know? This is not one I've been on, by the way. But she's alike in many aspects to the Stad Amsterdam which I know really well.
That pic is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. The sails - they're so pretty. The whole ship is beautiful, but am struck by the perfection of the sails.... Thank you for sharing!
