Gu Tian (Chinese: 古田) was a cargo ship situated in Mawei, Fujian. Built in the 1970s, it was the largest concrete ship ever constructed in China. The vessel displaced 5,773 tonnes (5,682 long tons) and measured 105.2 metres (345 ft) long with a beam of 14.5 metres (48 ft).^[3] High running costs led to the ship being abandoned and stranded ashore.^[1]
