The biggest ship on the Great lakes is 1,013 feet long and 105 feet wide. That's slightly larger than Dali. They just can't practically build them much bigger than that. There once was a 1,500 foot long ship that had to be taken out of service. So far 1,300 feet seems to be the best we can do

I mean, it was completed in 1979 and was taken out of service in 2010.

Not to shabby for a ship that also struck by a missle during the Iran-Iraq war.
