The ship made of wood is heavier. Since pound for pound steel is so much stronger than wood, the ship made of wood would require a great deal of more material for it to be of equal strength.

If I were to choose, I would say the one made of wood. Here's why: The two ships are of equal size. Size for size steel is heavier than wood. But the question also states that they are of equal strength...therefore the wood ship would be heavier since it would take quite a bit more wood to equal the stregth of a smaller amount of steel.
Just a thought. Hope it helps!

The wooden ship is heavier because the steel is stronger and can be a thinner hull, thusly more wood will be needed to make it of equal strength to the steel ship

The wooden one would have to be heavier if it to equal the steel in strength.
