The density of nail (as of iron) is much larger than the water. So it sinks easily. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to its weight, so it floats. Whereas the weight of thewater displaced by the iron nail is less than its weight so the iron nail sinks.

there could be several reasons for it
a large ship made up of iron is Hollow inside where as the iron nail is not
the last ship is on the sea and the seawater is salty which gives it the ability to float.
the designing of the ship is made in such a way that provides much buoyancy to the water but the iron nail is not
the ship displaces equal amounts of water which satisfies Archimedes's principle and letting it to float
