I just did some q&d math ... here it is ..

468’ length
78’ beam
47’ height

1.716 million cubic feet gross volume
7.48 gallons per cubic foot
12.8M gallons total volume
8# per gallon (fresh or salt?)
102.7M# carrying capacity
minus 33% because of necessary “freeboard” you can still carry 68M#

This is small ocean liner size ...
