500-foot waters but the ship was 700+ long. The size of cargo ships boggles the mind. The largest space rockets are toys compared to any modern cargo ship.

- shagie 1y agoThe relevant xkcd - https://xkcd.com/1040/ https://xkcd.com/1040/ (there's a large version of it too) There's a mentioned fun fact that is what reminded me of this: The Edmund Fitzgerald, the Kursk, and the Lusitania all sank in water shallower than they were long. Elsecomment there was a mention of diving, there are lines for diving records too.
