  • Full length of Broadway (53 km)...more would be 200 x Length of the Titanic
  • Length of the Oxford-Cambridge boat race (6.8 km)...more would be 25 x Length of the Titanic
  • Length of the Las Vegas Strip (6.8 km)...more would be 25 x Length of the Titanic
  • Length of the Starship `Discovery` in the Star Trek series of that name (683 m)...more would be 2.5 x Length of the Titanic
  • Distance between bases of a baseball diamond (27.43 m)...more would be 1/10 of Length of the Titanic
