Quote:There has been recently made at Wikipedia a comprehensive and rather well-researched list of the largest wooden ships ever:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wo ... oden_ships
There are glaring omissions from this comprehensive list. It doesn't even mention the Spanish ship of the line SantÃsima Trinidad which was far larger than Nelson's HMS Victory. Not to mention other larger French ships of the line Bretagne, Ocean, and Orient. Anglo-centric history still pervades Wikipedia.
