Ha, I happened to see it leave Boston August of last year and snapped a photo of it because it was jaw dropping big (and I’m not a boat person!) the Evergreen had 4 tugboats guiding it. Yeah that thing isn’t moving without professional help. https://photos.app.goo.gl/6Ywgot5wmK6HDNoV6 Edit: so this is the “ever living” that’s 335 meters long. The ever given is 400 meters long

That's another ship. The tweet is about "Ever Given", not "Evergreen".

Edit: Comparing with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_container_ship... it might or might not have been the ship. Evergreen is the name of the company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen_Marine

Evergreen is the company. Ever Given is the ship.

See my brain is that bad at English I didn’t even see that one.

Me fail English? Unpossible!

The kid with learning difficulties struggling with English. It’s a shock I know.

See it’s why the one/two word “correction” response comes off as such a dick move. It doesn’t actually help the other person. It either comes with zero meaning so offers no way to learn (if it’s actually meant as help which, I have my doubts that it actually is most of the time). Or it’s being said in a superior tone to someone who can not help it and has heard it soo many times it basically becomes an insult.

Looking at GP's foto again I believe the name of the ship they photographed ends with a 'G'. But I also realized my mistake with mixing up the ship's name with the company name.

There you have it, shows you how much I know about boats, although the more I’ve been reading this thread the more interested I am about learning more about the industry.

According to the Twitter feed there is now a excavator trying to dig out the bow. It really shows off the scale as the excavator looks like a tiny toy next to the massive container ship. https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1374468169784459267/pho...

Uhhh it's in Wikipedia's "largest container ships" list! [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_container_ship...

In 2016, Prokopowicz and Berg-Andreassen defined a container ship with a capacity of 10,000 to 20,000 TEU as a Very Large Container Ship (VLCS), while that with a capacity greater than 20,000 TEU as an Ultra Large Container Ship (ULCS)

They are gonna run out of larger adjectives pretty soon.

Good job wearing a mask and social distancing!
