How do big feight ships float?

how do ships float if there made of steal and metal and concrete.
-
Answer:
the hull of the ship pushes down on the surface of the water with a force equal to the weight of the vessel. the surface of the water pushes back on the vessel with a force equal to the weight of the water that is displaced (the volume of the portion of hull that is below the waterline). The boat is big, but there's a lot of empty space inside. A solid cube of steel and concrete would sink like a rock, but the boat floats.
