Because of changes in historic measurement systems, it is impossible to make meaningful and accurate comparisons of ship sizes over time beyond length. Three alternative forms of measurement are ship "volume", "weight", and weight of water it "displaces". A fourth, "deadweight tonnage" (DWT), is a measure of how much mass a ship can safely carry, and
