Shorter only by a foot and a half though, and the IJN Kaga displaced nearly twice the water than the JS Kaga does.

USS Monongahela, 1902.

As late as World War I, there were still significant numbers of sailing ships used in commerce.  They were cheap and reliable.  Being slow, they couldn't even run from Uboats. 
Count Felix von Luckner's Seeadler partly got through the english blockade because his ship was a sailing vessel.  Who would try commerce raiding in that?

"These things must be done delicately-- or you hurt the spell."  - The Wicked Witch of the West.
"We've got the torpedo damage temporarily shored up, the fires out and soon will have the ship back on an even keel. But I would suggest, sir, that if you have to take any more torpedoes, you take 'em on the starboard side."   Pops Healy, DCA USS Lexington.
