Ocean liner is taller than the world's tallest building. Compton's pictured encyclopedia. 1922.

"If the Leviathan were turned on end beside the Woolworth Building in New York City—the tallest building in the world—the bow of the ship would tower high above the skyscraper."

We were watching the SSUS being towed from her pier in Philadelphia on stream earlier, and my friend pointed out something that i absolutely CANNOT stop thinking about.

The parrarel here... it's insane. The sad and solemn scene of a once beautiful ship, built during an era which has now long passed, being towed to her final final destination... Welcome back The Fighting Temeraire by J.M.W. Turner

The ocean liner Leviathan, ca. 1920s. She was originally the German flag passenger liner Vaterland but was seized as a troop transport from beginning April 1917. She remained in political limbo from 1919 until 1922, when she was modernized into the largest and fastest ship of the U.S. merchant marine.
