Syracusia (Greek: Συρακουσία, syrakousía, literally "of Syracuse") was an ancient Greek ship sometimes claimed to be the largest transport ship of antiquity.[1] She was reportedly too big for any port in Sicily, and thus only sailed once from Syracuse in Sicily to Alexandria in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, whereupon she was given as a present to Ptolemy III Euergetes.[2] The exact dimension of Syracusia is unknown;[3] Michael Lahanas put it at 55 m long, 14 m wide, and 13 m high.[4]
