The container ship Marco Polo with the length of the Empire State building is seen under the Bayonne Bridge, New York Harbor and Newark/Elizabeth Port early Thursday. The Marco Polo is the largest cargo ship to call on the East Coast and its massive size is comparable to the length of about five Manhattan city blocks, or 1,300 feet by 176 feet. The ship is just slightly smaller than the Ever Given, the container ship that got stuck in Egypt's Suez Canal in March. The ship operated by CMA CGM Group, a French transport company, came from southeast Asia through the canal and it's here to unload up to 5,000 TEUs which contain clothing, pharmaceuticals, furniture, appliances, holiday decorations, building materials, home fixtures and food, according to Port Authority.
