Wood.

I don't know what they're called, but some warships had a thing sticking forward under the water, and they would be made from wood, I think.

It can help a ship float, obviously.

It can be burned to coal and power steamboats.

The sea. It can sink a ship when there's a storm or help it float (you need it to float anyway). Also you can use it as a propulsion system (Inlet and outlet motors).

air

ok, first, sometimes in the ocean large bubbles of air is released and if large enough can even sink a large ship

to help it float, well, if you have air in the boat, which is lighter than water, the boat will float.

And then, to help power it, with a steam engine, there would have to be air so there could be fire to burn coal etc. to make the steam. With a gas engine , air mixes with the gasoline so it doesn't burn as much or something ( I don't know the real reason behind this, i just remember from my Mechanics class ).

Air is a good one. Don't forget the sailing ships or the storms that sink a ship.

Water.

I can sink a ship, - through icebergs, or submersion.
or I might help it float, - buyoancy.
I might even help power,
the aforementioned boat. steam power.

That's 500 to Leluu, and going to award 250 to Shinoku because sea is partially right answer.

I liked the answer of wind and wood, water was right answer, good job sir.

I'll do riddle # 14 later on - good guesses!
