Yes, that is an excellent example.
Water can be displaced, but does not compress.
The displaced water off to the sides could compress the hull of an adjacent ship.
I'm sure some of the water would just splash upward along the ship sides, and some reflect off the bottom of a river. However that space in between could be dangerous indeed.
