HEY !!! HERE IS YOUR ANSWER 》》
Archimedes' principle states that
Weight of liquid displaced = Buoyant force
The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to its weight, so it floats. Whereas the weight of the water displaced by the iron nail is less than its weight so the iron nail sinks....
HOPE IT HELPS ^_^

In simple way
DENSITY=MASS/VOLUME
in case of ship volume is more due to air space in the basement of the ship. therefore its density reduced and become LESS THAN WATER.
in case of iron nail its density remain unchanged as there is no space inside iron nail.
so anything which has density less than water can float over it
