Nice, i actually just had the idea to make a similiar calculation about Noahs Ark. Funny.

The other big problem is structural. A wooden ship that size wouldn't be seaworthy. They start running into problems once they get to about three hundred feet. To go bigger than that you need steel or iron framing.

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.
