An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water. A steel needle sinks since its density is more than water. The interior of a ship is hollow. Therefore, its average density is less than that of water, therefore, it floats.

Answer:
steel sinks in water because it's density is more than water so that's why it sinks but as a steel boat has more volume so it will have less density as density is inversely proportional to volume .so the steel boat will float in water
