Lets assume your object sinks - the density of the object is greater than the density of water.

When the object is on the ship, the amount of water displaced will be dependent on the weight of the object.
When the object is under the water, the amount of water displaced will be dependent on the volume of the object.
Since the density of the object is greater than water, the volume of water displaced under the water is less than the volume of water displaced whilst above water

Therefore the water level will rise a teeny tiny amount.
However the water level will fall relative to the side of the ship because the ship will not displace quite so much

Elon Musk is Jewish, so he's probably going to want to send a bunch of Jews there to set up settlements before anyone has time to object.

Well, having Mars as New Israel would be one way of fixing the Middle East wars....

It would be easier to move the Palestinians there though, as there's less of them.
