A quarter of a mile long is a huge ship. Damn. Never really got that until now.

Coincidentally a quarter of a mile (400m) is also the length of those oval tracks around soccer fields in Europe. we used to run on them a lot in PE back in high school.

Same in the US for the tracks surrounding football fields (and soccer fields too, for that matter).

It’s really tall as well. You can’t take any quickly assembled crane to unload that.
