As of the fall 2004, a new 'biggest ship' has taken to the seas. It's the Queen Mary 2, the largest ocean liner ever constructed. Unlike other passenger cruise ships, the Queen Mary 2 is a true ocean liner, capable of navigating the seas of the north Atlantic. Built at a cost of $800,000,000, the Queen Mary 2 is 345 m long (longer than three football fields) and 45 m wide at the bridge wings. Its height from keel to the funnel is 72 m ... as tall as a 23 storey building! It weighs 150,000 tons.
