Longest ever correspondence game?

I reached for my ancient yellowed copy of Irving Chernev's FireSide Book of Chess ( first chess book I ever owned).

W. Crane versus H. Charlick 1888 Australian Championship 219 moves. No idea whether or not this was correspondence or face to face.
@corvusmellori Thanks for clearing that up. OK, Chernev didn't get all of his facts right all of the time, but he is still my favorite chess writer by orders of magnitude. ( Magnustude?)
