Zoom out from an average adult to the Titanic

The Titanic is too big to show next to an average adult in one picture, so here it is in 3 steps. Each step is drawn to its own scale and zooms out from the step before.

  1. Step 1 of 3 Human → Megalodon

    A megalodon is about 8.6–15 times as long as an average adult is tall.

    Human, Megalodon drawn to the same scaleHuman: height 1.61–1.75 m. Megalodon: maximum length (estimates) 15–24.3 m.Human: 1.61–1.75 mMegalodon: 15–24.3 mMegalodon15–24.3 mHuman1.61–1.75 m
    Step 1: Human and Megalodon at the same scale.

  2. Step 2 of 3 Megalodon → Starship

    SpaceX's Starship is about 5.1–8.3 times as tall as a megalodon is long.

    The Titanic is about 2.2 times as long as SpaceX's Starship is tall.

About the Titanic

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner of the White Star Line that sank on its maiden voyage in April 1912. Royal Museums Greenwich gives its overall length as 882.75 ft (269 m) and its breadth as 92.5 ft, with a gross tonnage of 46,329.

  • Titanic's gross tonnage was 46,329 and its net tonnage 21,831. Tonnage measures volume, not weight. [1]

How many fit?

  • ≈ 160 × Human · height lined up end to end match the Titanic · length overall
  • ≈ 2.9 × Statue of Liberty · ground to tip of torch lined up end to end match the Titanic · length overall

Counts divide one sourced figure by another. "End to end" uses each object's main measurement; weight and volume rows appear only when both figures are sourced.

How it compares

  • 160× The Titanic is about 160 times as long as an average adult is tall. See side by side
  • 2.9× The Titanic is about 2.9 times as long as the Statue of Liberty is tall. See side by side
  • 2.2× The Titanic is about 2.2 times as long as SpaceX's Starship is tall. See side by side
  • 2× The Titanic is about 2 times as long as the Great Pyramid of Giza is tall. See side by side
  • 1/1.2 The Eiffel Tower is about 1.2 times as tall as the Titanic is long. See side by side
  • 1/1.6 The Empire State Building is about 1.6 times as tall as the Titanic is long. See side by side

Factors compare the length overall of the Titanic with each object’s own main measurement (height for a human). Where a size varies, the factor is given as a range.

Notes on these figures

  • The drawing is scaled to the 882.75 ft overall length; the height of the funnels and masts in the drawing is illustrative.
