SEATTLE — One of the biggest ships to ever enter American waters is set to arrive in Seattle on Monday.
KING-TV reported the Benjamin Franklin container ship is more than 1,300 feet long and nearly 180 feet wide. It can hold 18,000 containers.
The ship recently called at the Port of Long Beach, Calif., where it unloaded 13,000 containers. That’s more than twice the size of a typical container ship to call in the large California port.
