The question then becomes of the feasibility of constructing a ship that large, rather than of if it would be able to fit its alleged crew. So the purported size of Tessarakonteres definitely fits within the ability to hold a crew that large. Her decks were 110M and she had an internal volume of 373054 cubic feet, meaning a cargo of a crew the size of Tessarakonteres would have 51 cubic feet of space each. Even larger was the schooner Wyoming, the largest wooden ship ever constructed at 140M with a 15m beam. Despite being built as a sailing vessel at the dawn of the steam era, it had a decades long career wherein it set many speed records, even outpacing steam transports.

It weighed 1600 tons and could carry 5000 tons of cargo. The SS Great Republic, a clipper launched in 1853, was 120M long and 16M wide, very nearly the purported size of the Tessarakonteres. But neither came close to the length to beam ratio of transport clippers. Greater beam also meant greater stability as a gun platform. The British in particular favored maneuverability over speed, as opposed to the French who favored speed. The longer the ship compared to the beam, the faster it can be, but at a cost of maneuverability that warships greatly needed. Very apples to oranges, but still something being that is the largest surface combatant in modern history.Ĭomparing it to age of sail warships isnt at all accurate not only because of the cargos and guns taking up space that people have already mentioned, but also because warships were designed to be a specific length to beam ratio. Regardless it is a very impractical number of people on a vessel that size if we take a Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier we have a crew of roughly 6,000, on a vessel that is 1,092 feet long overall, 252 feet in beam overall, with 18 decks. I'd guess you'd have less usable space no matter the configuration of the vessel given my guesstimate.

If you look at triremes of the era they typically only had one full sized deck, typically with a raised partially enclosed deck around part the perimeter, and a partial height deck below that, followed by a ballast/bilge.

Apart from the deck not being rectangular as the hull isn't, you also have to include for masts, rigging, weapons, food, water, structural elements, and a ton of other factors. I figured a rectangular deck at 100% utilization, which is impossible. Not really, I just didn't elaborate as there isn't enough information to make a more educated guess. The ship was probably used for show and not actual war, but it's still an impressive example of ancient engineering. It's estimated the dock could hold 2,839,058 liters (750,000 US gallons) of water. 200 CE), the Ptolemies built a massive dry dock to launch the ship. But this ship was merely for show and since she differed little from a stationary edifice on land, beingmeant for exhibition and not for use, she was moved only with difficultyand danger."Īccording to a later writer, Athenaeus (c. "Ptolemy Philopator built of forty banks of oars, which had a length of two hundred and eightycubits, and a height, to the top of her stern, of forty-eight she wasmanned by four hundred sailors, who did no rowing, and by four thousandrowers, and besides these she had room, on her gangways and decks, fornearly three thousand men-at‑arms. Ptolemy IV (221 - 204 BCE) had a ship that the ancients called Tessarakonteres (forty rowed). I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it's still an impressive ship.
