TIL: One of the longest ships ever built, the “Seawise Giant”, was so deep the English Channel/La Manche was too shallow for it to pass through.

The English Channel

From Wikipedia

At the time it was built, it was the heaviest self-propelled ship of any kind. With a laden draft of 24.6 m (81 ft) and a length of 458.45 m (1,504.1 ft), the ship was incapable of navigating the English Channel,[6] the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal. It is generally considered the largest self-propelled ship ever built.[7][8]

What does "?wprov=sfti1#" mean?

(Oh, it wasn't hard to find out. According to hacker news it's not giving away your wikipedia account id or anything, just the fact that you're an iOS user.)

"?wprov=sfla1" seems to indicate Android then.
(I always have to remove it when sharing Wikipedia links from the app)
