A ship made of iron and steel doesn't sink in water, but while the same amount of iron and steel in the form of sheet would sink because it is not completely solid and has full of air filled in it. This phenomena behind the Archimedes ' principal. So if a boat weighs 1,000 pounds (or kilograms), it will sink into the water until it has displaced 1,000 pounds (or kilograms) of water. Provided that the boat displaces 1,000 pounds of water before the whole thing is submerged, the boat floats.
