although this one has read in a national geographic an article an some ancient chinese exploreer who was supposed to have ships that were more than twice the size of european sailing vessels... so don't what it's worth other than mentioning. but those must've been huge ships.
I first became aware of Emperor (forget his name)'s "Dragon Ships" during a CNN special about the 2nd Millenium, well, 5 years ago. I also read the NG article about them, and while the records are interesting, I'm not so sure how evidentiary they are.
If such seagoing behemoths existed, that would be fascinating, but we'd really need some physical evidence before tossing out everything ship builders have learned in the last 500+ years.
