I'm referring to the very very large Mumakil of the Jackson movies, by way of the AT-AT. I think the comparison originated with Philosopher@Large back in the day. The concept art Mumak seems to be the same design.

(By some very quick maths - the Romans had very large ships which could carry 800-ton obelisks. Using the approximation that any animal is roughly the density of water, and that 1 m3 of water = 1 ton, I estimate from this image that a Jackson Mumak is about 10m long and 6m around the body, so about 300-400 tons. So you could just about do it - but I wouldn't want to take it onto rough seas!)
