Largest LEGO Ship - Current world record
1.
A 9.32 m long model of a container ship has been constructed by the professional LEGO builders
Design im Stein (Germany) at IdeenExpo in Hannover, Germany in 2011.
An even larger model has been created by DFDS Seaways. However, this model contained a metal frame which does not qualify the ship as a pure LEGO model. DFDS Seaways celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2016 by building a ship named Jubilee Seaways. It was 12.035 m long, 1.67 m wide and weighs just under three tonnes.
