SS Moloch, The. With 1214 funnels and a gross registered tonnage of 936, 589 tons, the Moloch is held to be the biggest ship in the world. No precise specifications are available, or none that can be scientifically validated, because no one who has set foot in the Moloch has ever returned. Thousands of tales are told about this vessel, needless to say, but none that has any recognisable claim to credibility.
