What makes the ship float?

The upthrust of the water (weight of water displaced) equals the weight of the ship. So the metal body of the ship is hollow making its overall density equal to that of water. In the same way a concrete boat can be made to float.

It is buoyant because the ship’s weight is less than the weight of the water that it displaces. So both weight and volume of water displaced by the ship are the important parameters to check when looking at whether ships will float or sink.

it is overall less dense than water, and so as a whole it displaces a volume of water whose weight is equal to the weight of the ship. when the weight of the displaced water and the ship are equal, the ship floats. note while the walls of the ship are metal (and much denser than water), most of the interior of the ship is air, so the average density of the ship is a lot less than that of the metal walls alone.. http://en.wikipedia.
