Angus MacAskill (1825 – 8 August 1863) was a Scottish-born Canadian giant. The Guinness Book of World Records in its 1981 edition stated he was the strongest man who ever lived, tallest non-pathological giant in recorded history[2] at 7 feet 9 inches (2.36 m)[1] and had the largest chest measurements of any non-obese man at 80 inches (200 cm).

MacAskill was rumored for feats of strength such as lifting a ship's anchor weighing 2,800 pounds (1,300 kg) to chest height, and an ability to carry barrels weighing over 350 pounds (160 kg) apiece under each arm or reputedly able to lift a hundredweight (50 kg) with two fingers and hold it at arm's length for ten minutes.[citation needed]

There are various accounts of an incident with an anchor that may have taken place in New York or New Orleans. French sailors apparently taunted MacAskill to lift an anchor lying on the wharf, which was estimated to weigh 2,200–2,700 pounds (1,000–1,220 kg). MacAskill easily did so and walked down the wharf with it, but one of the anchor's flukes caught in one of his shoulders, crippling him. However, this was not the cause of his death, as he lived for many years thereafter.[3]
