Eurobricks member VFracingteam has spent the last 2 months working on this replica of the SL Gabon which plies the waters of Gabon, Africa. The statistics speak for themselves:

• Dimensions - 193 x 50 studs
  
• Weight - 35 kg
  
• Parts - ~38000
  

The hull structure is made entirely from Technic beams and pins, while the superstructure is mostly System. He invented this building style for ships and seems to be the only one using it, though probably not for long!

Wander over to the Technic, Mindstorms, & Model Team forum and see if you can tell the difference between the model and the real thing.
