The Queen Of The Ocean

 Ahhh...the Titanic.

Also called the Wonder Ship, Ship of Dreams, Millionaires' Special, and the World's Largest Ship.



Which it was.

How big was it?

Well, not that big, really.  At least compared to today's standards.




Wow, that's a pretty tiny ship.




I bet Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk has something bigger.


Maybe not.  But this baby is close.


The Azzam. 

This $400 million private yacht, built in 2013, the longest yacht in the world is nearly the length of the Titanic, coming in at 600 feet compared to the Titanic's 881. 

But it blows the Titanic away for luxury and, of course by now, technology.

And whereas the Titanic could hold 3,300 souls, the Azzam is designed for a more, ummm, intimate crowd, maybe a couple of dozen.

Not too shabby.

Or as Borat might say......
