List of longest wooden ships

The six-mastedschoonerWyoming,the longest confirmed wooden ship in history.

The side-wheel paddle steamerferryboatEureka,now amuseum ship,is the longest wooden ship still afloat.

This is a list of the world'slongest wooden ships.The vessels are sorted by ship length includingbowsprit,if known.

Finding the world's longest wooden ship is not straightforward since there are several contenders, depending on which definitions are used. For example, some of these ships benefited from substantial iron or even steel components since the flexing of wood members can lead to significant leaking as the wood members become longer. Some of these ships were not very seaworthy, and a few sank either immediately after launch or soon thereafter. Some of the more recent large ships were never able or intended to leave their berths, and function as floating museums. Finally, not all of the claims to the title of the world's longest wooden ship are credible or verifiable.

A further problem is that especially wooden ships have more than one "length". The most used measure in length for registering a ship is the "length of the topmost deck" — the "length on deck" (LOD) — 'measured from leading edge of stem post to trailing edge of stern post on deck level' or the "length between perpendiculars" (LPP, LBP) — 'measured from leading edge of stem post to trailing edge of stern post in the construction waterline (CWL)'. In this method of measuring bowsprit includingjibboomand out-board part ofspankerboom if any have both no effect on the ship's length. The longest length for comparing ships, the total "overall"length (LOA) based on sparred length, should be given if known.

The longest wooden ship ever built, the six-masted New EnglandgaffschoonerWyoming,had a "total length" of 137 metres (449 ft) (measured from tip of jibboom (30 metres) to tip of spanker boom (27 metres) and a "length on deck" of 107 m (351 ft). The 30 m (98 ft)-difference is due to her extremely long jibboom of 30 m (98 ft) her out-board length being 27 m (89 ft).

304.8 m (1000 ft)	TấnWang Jun'stower ship	3rd century AD	The largest of the armored floating fortresses (louchuan) that were used as flagships of river flotillas during theHanandJindynasties. According to theTang dynasty'sTaibai Jinjing,it was used on theYangtzeduring theJin conquest of Wuand was equipped with special hanging galleries to transport horses andwar chariots.Though oar-powered only, tower ships tended to lose control when faced with wind changes, and this caused their abandonment.
144–180 m (472–591 ft), or 88.56 m LOA (290 ft) and 80.51 m (264 ft) LOD.	Pati Unus' jong	c. 1512	Javaneseseagoingjunktype claimed to carry up to 1000 passengers. Though the early 16th century Portuguese did not record exact sizes, they remarked that the ships were so monstrously big thatFlor do MarandAnunciada(the largest Portuguese ships of the time) did not seem ships when next to them.Irawan Djoko Nugroho estimate it to be 4–5 times the length ofFlor do Mar,which was about 36 m long (Malaysian reconstruction).His estimation has been contested as it is not based on engineering grounds, Muhammad Averoes estimated it with an LOA of 88.56 m and LOD of 80.51 m.
135–150 m (+500 ft)	Noah's Ark	c. 2348 BC	A vessel claimed in theBook of Genesisto have been built byNoahto house a pair of every animal kind on Earth during theDeluge.The story mirrors the olderMesopotamian mythofUtnapishtim.Three full-sized, non-seaworthy replicas exist:one in Hong Kong,one in The Netherlands,and one in Kentucky near theCreation MuseumofAnswers in Genesis.
c. 135 by 55 metres (443 by 180 ft), 70 m (230 ft) long (modern estimate)	Đại minhChinese treasure ship	15th century AD	The 18th centuryHistory of the Ming dynastyclaims that the largest 15th century junks of the Ming emperors were more than 400 feet (120 m) long, and calculations based on 15+ ft stern rudder posts found have been used to claim total ship lengths of 400 to 600 feet (180 m). However, this has been disputed.Xin Yuan'ou, a shipbuilding engineer and professor atShanghaiJiao Tong University,argues that it is highly unlikely that Zheng He's treasure ships were 450 ft long, and suggests that they were probably closer to 200–250 feet (61–76 m) in length,other estimate were 309–408 feet (94–124 m) in length and 160–166 feet (49–51 m) in width.
128 m by 18 m (420×58 ft)	Tessarakonteres	Late 3rd century BC	AGreekgalley with 40 lines of oarsmen (for a total of 4000), from which her name derives. It reportedly had an additional crew of 400 and could transport 2850 soldiers according toAthenaeusandPlutarch.She was built forPtolemy IV Philopator.Modern naval engineers have speculated that the ship, of which there is no surviving depiction, had two twin hulls rather than one. According to Plutarch the ship proved difficult and dangerous to move during tests. As early as the 19th century, the dimensions of the ship have been contested since it caused several problems in terms of maneuverability and structural integrity.
110 m (360 ft) or 70–75 m (230–246 ft) according to modern estimates	Leontophoros	c. 280 BC	A warship (octere) built forLysimachos.After his death, it was used byPtolemy Keraunosto defeatAntigonus Iin a battle in 280 BC. The length estimate is based onMemnon of Heraclea's claim that each line had 100 oarsmen, bringing the total to 1600.
100 m (328 ft) length 17 m (56 ft) breadth	Cakra Dunia	Before 1629	Acehnese98-gun galley class numbering 47 units. One captured by the Portuguese was renamed theEspanto do Mundo( "Terror of the Universe" ). Armed with 18 large cannons (five 55-pounders at the bow, one 25-pounder at the stern, the rest were17and18-pounders), 80falconsand many swivel guns.

c.63–95 m by 27–32 m	Hatshepsut's barge	c. 1500 BC	Used to transport obelisks.The barge may have been "too large to be equipped with a sail and not very manoeuvrable", and "would have been towed downstream by smaller vessels, also using the current, fromAswantoThebes."
55 m (180 ft) long, 14 m (46 ft) wide	Syracusia (laterAlexandria)	c. 240 BC	Claimed to be the largest transport ship in Antiquity.
