 Which ship is the largest ship of the world? When everyone heard this question, the very first name which comes to our minds is the Titanic. It is no doubt one of the most famous ships which met with quite a memorable trouble on its first journey.

There are many giant ships other than the titanic of which most of us are not aware of and that’s the reason we have brought you this list of the top 10 largest ships ever which have fared our seas and oceans. There are many ways of transportation available at the present time and each one has its own advantages.
The enormous and big ships of today transport almost 90 % of anything that the world produces. The world’s longest ships are listed according to their overall length (LOA), which is the maximum length of the vessel measured between the extreme points in fore and aft. In addition the ships’ deadweight tonnage (DWT) and gross tonnage (GT) are presented as they are often used to describe the size of a vessel.

Seawise Giant is the biggest ship of the world ever built till present.Seawise Giant, later Happy Giant, Jahre Viking, and Knock Nevis, was a ULCC supertanker and the longest ship ever built, and possessed the greatest deadweight tonnage ever recorded.
Fully laden, her displacement was 657,019 tonnes (646,642 long tons; 724,239 short tons), the heaviest ship of any kind, and with a draft of 24.6 m (81 ft), she was incapable of navigating the English Channel, the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal.
