A stone is more dense and heavier than water, so it sinks.

If you were to hollow out the top of the stone into a shape like a bowl, it would then be mostly filled with air, and might float. That is the same idea as with boats - even steel boats float if they are hollowed out to where they are light enough. I have even seen competitions to see who can build the best concrete boat.

Why stone sink in water but ship does not?

A stone sinks in water because it is denser than water, causing it to displace the water it occupies and ultimately sink. A ship, on the other hand, is designed to have a shape that displaces enough water to create buoyancy, allowing it to float on the surface rather than sink.
