Normally no. But if you carefully set the pin on some still water, yes it can 'float' on the water due to what's called surface tension. This is also what causes a small amount of water on a smooth surface to 'bead'. It's also what keeps water beetles on top of the water in ponds.

AnswerThe air in the ship PLUS the weight of the ship must just equalthe weight of the water displaced (pushed out of the way)by the hull of the ship.The pin lacks the air.
Can float on water?
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.

How can water float on water?

Why ice floats in in water?
The reason why ice will float in water is because ice is not as dense as water, therefore, it floats.
Why ice floats on water and does not sink?
Ice is less dense than water, so it floats.
Does paper floats in water or not?
