Because the weight of the water it displaces is more than the weight of the ship itself.
============================
Because the weight of the water it displaces exactly equals the weight of the ship
itself. Think of the water that was originally occupying the place where the ship now
is. That water didn't sink because it was supported by the overall pressure from
below. Putting the ship there means that the force balance is precisely the same.
Remember, compared with solid iron, a ship is mostly empty space.
