A method of constructing a marine float structure, such as a large-sized ship structure, is accompolished by assembling a number of divided ship portions on a ship building base. The first divided portion is transported on the water surface by means of a composite pontoon which is so constructed that each individual portion thereof can be separated from the other up and down or forwardly and backwardly. Then the composite pontoon is caused to sink down in the water so that said first divided portion of the ship can float of its own accord on the water surface. Subsequently the second divided portion of the ship is transported on the water surface using the same pontoon as mentioned above. A part of the composite pontoon is separated from the remaining body and allowed to sink down in the water while said second divided portion of the ship is held by the remaining portion of the pontoon. The separated part of the pontoon is used to float said first divided portion of the ship on the water surface, thereby combining both divided portions of the ship in a single unit on the water surface.
