Largest vessel ever launched.

Prelude is a 'floating liquefied natural gas facility owned  Shell.  It is is 488 metres long and 74 metres wide making it the biggest ship in the world.  By comparison, the Empire State Building, which was the world's tallest structure for almost 40 years, is 443 metres high.  It is hard to believe that even larger vessels are being designed today.
