Talk:Sulivan (1782 EIC ship)

Impossible length
It is impossible that this ship was 434 meters long. That would make it about 300 meters longer than the longest wooden ship ever built, the Wyoming - a ship built 200 years later, with a metal frame that had not been invented yet in 1798, and that actually sunk due to the structural problems of being such a large ship (mostly) made of wood. The claimed length of the keel makes me think that the original author misplaced a point and it was actually 43.4 meters long, which would make it average for a merchant ship of the era, but I cannot check the original source.--Menah the Great (talk) 05:00, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
