Humans Are Truly Unlimited
Alongside oil tankers and cargo carriers, cruise liners are some of the largest water vessels traversing our waters. The sheer size of these vessels only becomes more apparent when you see such a photo. The Oppama, also known as the TT Seawise Giant, once stood as the heaviest self-propelling ship and a testament to what humans can achieve.
With a recorded displacement of 657K tonnes, the vessel was never able to clear the Panama Canal, English Channel, and Suez Canal. After sinking during the 1988 Iran-Iraq War and being restored to function as an FSO (floating storage and offloading) unit, the supertanker made its final journey in 2009.
