The air in the ship PLUS the weight of the ship must just equal
the weight of the water displaced (pushed out of the way)
by the hull of the ship.
The pin lacks the air.

Does volume determine whether an object floats or sinks?
Not at all. A small pebble and a giant boulder both sink, but a small feather and a giant battleship both float.
Does mass determine an object will float or sink?
No. A toothpick and a tiny stone both have small mass, but one floats and the other sinks. A passenger ferry and a large boulder both have large mass, but one floats and the other sinks. It's not the mass that determines whether the object will float. It's the ratio of its mass to its volume ... the number known as the object's "density".

Can objects of the same weight have different buoyancies?
Sure. A small stone can have the same weight as an inflated party balloon. But the balloon has more buoyancy, so it floats on water, while the stone sinks like a stone.
Why should float on water while it is made up of iron sinks in water?
Anything which floats on water can only do so if it displaces, or moves out of the way, its own mass of water. Wood floats because it displaces a small amount of water, a large lump of iron is very heavy so it will keep displacing water until it has displaced its own mass.

Will paper float or sink in water?
Dry paper is less dense than water and will float. But paper is absorbent: when in contact with water, it will start to absorb water into its fibers. This increases the density, so eventually it becomes saturated and sinks. Paper boats can be made, where only a small portion of the sheet is touching the water, slowing the absorption rate and allowing it to float much longer.
