A vessel 300,000,000 meters wide is traveling at near light speed. >

Would the time required for a photon to travel from one side of the
ship to the other side be ;
(1) One second according to the ship's clock? or
One second according to the ship's clock is correct. The speed of light in
any frame is a constant math ratio as follows:
Light path length of ruler (299,792,458m long physically)/the absolute time
content for a clock second co-moving with this ruler.
This new definition for the speed of light give rise to a new theory of
relativity called IRT. IRT includes SRT as a subset. However, unlike SRT,
the equations of IRT are valid in all environments--including gravity. A
description of IRT is in the paper entitled "Unification of Physics" in the
following website:

(2) One second according to a clock on Earth? or
(3) One second according to both clocks? or
(4) Some arbitrary time not related to the nominal speed of light?
