Because density of iron nail is more than the density of water so it sinks . But density of iron ship is less than density of nail as it's volume is more than nail and volume is inversely proportional to density. thus the ship floats

Iron nails sink in water but a ship made of iron floats.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sinking and floating depend upon the density of the object and the water. The objects with less density than water floats on the water while the object that has not density sinks into the water. Iron nails sink in water but a ship made of iron floats. This happens because of the density of the iron nail and the ship. The iron ship has larger surface and has spaces that are filled with air. Because of this reason the density is less as compared to water.
