Titanic Size Comparison To Modern Cruise Ships
When the Titanic was launched in 1912 it was considered the biggest made-made object ever built to float in the waters. It was an incredible, engineering achievement, since modern technology was still in its infancy near the beginning of the twentieth century.
The Titanic and its sister ships did not hold the distinction of being the largest ships for long even though they were 883 feet long from bow to stern. By 1934 the luxury cruise ship Queen Mary took the honor of being the longest and largest ship. It would beat the Titanic by 136 feet in length. It length of 1,019 feet was equivalent to more than three football fields laid end to end. It would not be until the 1990s before another cruise ship would we built with a length longer than the Queen Mary. Many of the Royal Caribbean cruise ships today have lengths greater than the Queen Mary. Believe it or not they are only one foot longer than the Queen Mary. The newest ships, The Oasis of the Seas and the Allure of the Seas, launched in 2010 and 2011 respectively, are considered the largest cruise ships in the world with a length of 1,187 feet, about 304 feet longer or another football field longer than the Titanic.

Alabama Family Catches Record-Breaking Alligator
A mammoth alligator is breaking records in Alabama.
Five members of the Stokes family caught this monster alligator Saturday in Thomaston, Alabama.
It took them 10 hours to wrangle the mammoth beast.
Biologists at Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries easily measured the alligator at 15 feet, but weighing it was a big more tricky.

Eagle Scout catches huge halibut, leads derby
His huge 335-pounder halibut surpassed the previous leader by 57 pounds, and would have been big enough to win 16 of the previous 28 derbies dating to the events beginning in 1986. The biggest derby winner weighed 376 pounds.
