Star America
Cargo ships are a common sight in the harbour around Vancouver, and they're huge! This ship called the Star America was built in 1985. It's 169 metres long and about 30,000 tonnes deadweight. That's the equivalent of 1-1/2 football fields long and about 20,100 passenger cars total in weight! How does it stay afloat? The size of these ships don't quite strike you until you see the size of a regular passenger pleasurecraft in comparison:
