The largest ship EVER built!!!

Knock Nevis has a deadweight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonnage) of 564,763 tonnes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne) and a summer displacement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline) of 647,955 t when laden with nearly 650,000 m³ (4.1 million barrels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bbl)) of petroleum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum). The ship has a draft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_%28hull%29) of 24.6 m (81 feet) when fully loaded, which makes it impossible for the ship to navigate even the English Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Channel), let alone man-made canals at Suez (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Canal) and Panama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal).
