Answer:

ship is not a solid block of iron and steel.a ship is hollow object made of iron and steel which contains a lots of air in it.air has a very low density.due to presence of lots of air in it the average density of the ship become less than the density of water.since the average density of ship is less than water therefore ship floats in water
