From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British ship SV Tenacious is 65 meters (213.25 feet) long, including bowsprit. Its deck is 49.85 meters long, and its hull is 54.02 meters long, and it has a beam of 10.6 meters at its widest point. The SV Tenacious is a recently constructed wood ship and is specially designed to accommodate the disabled. A press release from the Belfast Maritime Festival on June 22, 2006 announced that the SV Tenacious was the "world’s largest wooden ship still afloat".[1]
The SV Tenacious displaces about 690 tons and is allegedly the largest ship of her kind built in the United Kingdom in the last 100 years. Its first voyage was in September 2000. It is owned by the UK-based charity, the Jubilee Sailing Trust, which also owns the 42 meter long tall ship STS Lord Nelson (length including bowsprit is 55 meters and waterline length is 37 meters).[1][2]
