Answer:
If a solid ball or cube of steel is placed in water, it sinks. ... The mass of the steel is the same but the big increase in volume makes the density of the bowl less than the density of water so the bowl floats. This is the same reason why a steel ship is able to float.

Answer:
It is not made out of a solid block of steel. ... A steel ship is sort of like an empty cup. Although its sides are hard and dense, it holds a lot of air in the middle. Since air weighs almost nothing, it lowers the overall density of the ship to a point where its buoyancy exceeds its weight, and the ship floats.
