Sailing ships go by many names depending on size, draft, sails, number of sails, sail configuration, and a number of other variables. The largest was the SS Eastern, built as a passenger ship and later converted to lay the Trans-Atlantic cable, launched in 1858 and scraped in 1889-1890; she was 692 feet in length and 82 feet from port to starboard. By comparison, the RMS Titanic was 882 feet 9 inches in length and 92 feet across the beam, and the USS Gerald Ford (the largest ship in the US Navy's fleet) is 1,106 feet in length and 256 feet across the beam. Smaller sailing yachts might be as small as 20 feet long and 8 feet wide.
