Modern record First hand

The tallest recorded non-pathological giant: no pituitary or growth-hormone disorder was ever identified, and he was proportionally built. Reputed to have lifted a ship's anchor of over 2,700 lb. A museum at St Ann's, Nova Scotia holds his effects.

People of giant stature measured under modern conditions, with a named cause where one is known. This is the only class on the page where the height itself is verified.
