Some giant old oil tankers!







Seawise Giant 1,504 feet long 564,650 Tonnes



Batillus Class 1,359 feet long 555,051 Tonnes



Esso Atlantic / Pacific 1,334 feet long 516,891 Tonnes



Nai Superba / Genova 1,253 feet long 409,400 Tonnes



Berge Emperor / Emperiss 1,253 feet long 423,745 Tonnes



TI class 1,247 feet long 441,893 Tonnes

This is only about the length and size of ships, not an endorsement of oil.

They sure have amazing names, my fave is the Nai Superba. The top ship, the largest has had a lot of names in it's career. It's first name was the Seawise Giant, Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, Knock Nevis, and finally the Mont!
