How to make this kind of Headers for web layouts ? I know its shape and clip masking.

Can you kindly explain it in detail, please ?? Thank you.

This is very simple.
Decide on a pattern (shape). For this example I will use an arrow.
You make a selection with your Pen Tool that also includes any part of the ship that you want to be "sticking" out of the shape.....in this case my arrow. So I will also make a selection of the bow of the ship. (I have darkened the BG so you can see the Pen Tool paths)

Here is the path after I have converted it into a selection by right clicking inside the path and choosing "make selection".

Now that I have a selection, just select (highlight) the image (ship) layer and hit the "add layer mask" icon located at the bottom of the layers panel. This will add the layer mask to the image layer in the shape of selection you made with the Pen Tool. You may have to reverse the layer mask by selecting the layer mask and hitting Command + I.

This is the result.
