Why Ships float on water

Why ships float on water ?

Ships are made with Heavy steel body , occupied with no of materials ,persons , Goods but still it is floating.  Can u guess why ?

When u drop a small iron piece in to water it will sink , but such heavy body ship floating on water.

This is a simple concept. Any body float or sink depending up on its density. In the case of Ship , it consists of lot of rooms and hull which is occupied with air , which is less denser than water. Thats why ships float on water.

If air volume decreases ship will sink.
