Mmmkay. Don't say I didn't warn you! ;)

(thank you for saying "almost all the metals"; if you had said all of them I would have had to direct your attention to this... but you didn't so I don't! :D)

Anyway, I'll give an example. Say you have a round ball of metal. Put it on a table. Does the table break? Nope. Now take that ball of metal, put it into a gun, and shoot it at the table? Does the table break? Yep. So it depends on the velocity of the object just as much as its weight.

It works both ways. Provided that the ship isn't super fragile (which it can't be if it's seaworthy) I'm pretty sure it could hold the dragon if it lands slowly enough. After all, pirate ships would sail around with their holds nearly bursting with gold loot. How is a dragon any different? :)
