Metric vs. other measurement systems - chart

[Karl_H]

I think I've found the defiinitive set of measurments of the ship stuck in the Suez:

"The vessel, operated by Taiwan-based Evergreen Group, is one of the biggest in the world: as long as four football fields, as wide as the wingspan of a Boeing 747, and, thanks to the 200,000 tons of containers stacked on board, as tall as a 12-story building."

Why I'll bet the original blueprints used just those measurements :-) Lead Engineer [I]"That diagonal there, it needs to be ⅓ football field by wingtip to the second engine.

Problem is that the builder was just a Cessna hair off when measured!
