For the sake of NOT starting an argument with you...perhaps you should re-read what I posted. I never suggested anywhere that wooden ships werent used last century.
I DID copy this FROM the article...
The longest wooden ships in modern seas are about 300 feet, and these require reinforcing with iron straps and leak so badly they must be constantly pumped. The ark was 450 feet long.
Common lengths for Galleons are approx 200ft long. Not sure what argument you want to start.
