The R.M.S. Titanic.It was over 882 ft long and 92.5 ft wide, the length translates to 1/6 of a mile. She stood over 100 ft tall, she also weighed 45,000 tons.
Sorry, but the Titanic doesn't even come close to the size of modern cruise ships, aircraft carriers, or oil tankers. Seawise Giant, a supertanker built in 1979, was the longest ship with the greatest tonnage ever built. In fact, it was the largest self-propelled man-made object ever created. She was 1504 feet from bow to stern and could carry 646,642 long tons. Her draft was too deep to pass through the Suez Canal, Panama Canal, or even the English Channel.

How heavy is the largest anchor chain in pounds or tons?
The largest anchor chains can weigh anywhere from 100 to 400 tons, depending on the size of the ship they are designed for and the depth of water in which they will be dropped.
Why is the density of a stone greater than of a ship?
The density of a stone is greater than that of a ship because a stone is usually made of denser materials like minerals or metals, whereas a ship is made of lighter materials like steel or aluminum. This causes the stone to have more mass packed into a smaller volume, resulting in a higher density.
