Some Carracks, Galleons and Junks were pretty big. Galleons had an average diplacement of 330 tons and a length of 30-40 meters, but could reach up to 2,000 tons and have hundreds of cannons, 200 or more sailors and soldiers...

Yeah, it's small if you compare them to modern ships, but even average galleons were 10 meters wide, the Krakens need 10 meters long tentacles to close them around the ship, and to have a pull of several thousands of tons in order to sink it...
