2. The Wyoming: This ship was launched in 1909 and measured 450 feet in length. It was one of the largest wooden ships ever built and was used to transport coal.

3. The Preußen: This ship was a five-masted sailing ship built in 1902 and measured 416 feet in length. It was used to transport cargo between Europe and South America.

Larger wooden ships became less popular after the introduction of steel, which was stronger and more durable. Today, the largest wooden ships still in operation are usually used for tourism or recreation.
