The Prelude at 488metres long is the biggest ship in the world.

Much much bigger than that insignificant Titanic which couldn't even float FFS.
It's 2 football piches longer than that rotting old hulk (thought I'd add a footy reference for all those non-sailing types).
Now some of you may argue that it isn't a ship as it's main purpose will be a stationary one but a shop doesn't cease to be a ship when it docks and therefore stops moving. Read and enjoy
Oh a sailor's life for me

Sorry, just seen it's a joint thread
Weds have more points but we have more class
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leeds and class in the same sentence = oxymoron. (look it up)

Tyke hasn't said anything sensible for over a year now, I don't really get why he comes on here anymore tbf.. As Pro Clubs died a long time ago and he isn't a fan of the new FIFA?
Just some childish fun I guess...
However Tyke is a very intelligent, organised (if not extremely regimented/stubborn), good to talk to and fun individual IMHO..
Just a shame we never see that guy anymore

Pioneering Spirit is possibly even larger than the Prelude, in some ways at least. Although, the now retired Seawise Giant ( to use just one of its names ) Remains the longest, and at well over half a million tonnes DWT, still worthy of consideration as the largest ever- by length and by weight.
Seawise Giant was just almost 14 times heavier than the Titanic.
The Blue Marlin could easily carry the Titanic with room to spare, and take it for a ride around the oceans.
Things have moved on eh?
