There has been recently made at Wikipedia a comprehensive and rather well-researched list of the largest wooden ships ever:

As for Caligula's Giant Ship, Lionel Casson, though, has made rather dismissive attitude towards the methodology employed by the Italian archaeologist. Has there been done more recent research on these ships by now?
Also, do you think the list of ancient giant ships is complete (Caligula's Giant Ship, Syracusia, Nemi Lake ships, Isis, Tessarakonteres)?
