The lengths quoted are in meters - Good Hope was built to imperial measurements, so rounding errors in conversion to metric may account for some of the differences. Reputable books quote 500 feet (152.4m) as her length between perpendiculars, 521 feet (158.8m) as her waterline length and 533.5 feet (162.6m) as her length overall.

Hi All,
Could anyone recommend a reliable website for finding the dimensions of ships? I want to find the length of HMS Good Hope (1901) and the sites on the first page of Google gave me: 163m, 168.7m, 157m, 161.4m, 162.6m and 152.4m. I don't know which is correct, and any help would be appreciated!
