I love how he points out that they are, in fact, not driving a car on land.

This gigantic oil tanker had truly frightening dimensions: It was 458.45 meters long, 68.86 meters wide and when fully loaded it had a draft of 24.61 meters. These measures prevented it from passing through many canals, such as the Panama Canal or Suez Canal. It had a 50,000 horsepower engine, a 9-meter diameter propeller weighing 50 tons, the rudder blade was 11 meters long, 14 meters high weighed 250 tons and it had a 36-ton anchor. The anchor can still be seen outside the Hong Kong Maritime Museum

Im pretty sure this is the largest engine ever made and the biggest propeller ever made.

The ship had a steam radial flow turbine, specifically a Ljungström turbine. Still, it had to be the largest ever made.

It had 4 owners: Universal Petroleum Company (1979-1989), Norman International A/S (1989-1991), K/S Jahre Viking (1991-2004) and First Olsen PTE LTD (2004-2009) It was made in Japan by Sumitomo Heavy Industries and launched in 1975 for a Greek shipping company, which however refused its delivery. The ship was then purchased by a Chinese tycoon who had it lengthened by many meters
