Once the largest ship in existence in the 19th Century. The SS Great Eastern. It dwarfed other ships as 692 feet in length. It had five funnels or smoke stacks.

It carried 4,000 passengers, but was not a commercial success. However, it found success as a ship that lied the Transatlantic telegraph cable.
