They would still go all the way to the bottom, if that's what you mean.  

The bigger question is how much would it drop if all the boats and ships
and submarines in it were suddenly put onto land, taking into account the
effect of continental subsidence when all of that weight were now resting
on land of course.

(Trying to imagine otherwise.)

Is this an odd cross-posting, or what?

Not at all.  Sponges are often found near Corel Reafs.

From the related but not equal department, I once read that if every
man, woman and child were to jump into the ocean at once, sea level
would rise by less than one millimeter. How much coastal marine life
would suffer from urine poisoning wasn't addressed.
