Hey, Who can say what these correct sentences mean?

1.The building that Canary Wharf is taller than is St Paul's.

2. To Horald's annoyance, the other thing that he was not more of than Sneezy was strong.

I'm sure both of them are correct and it is claimed that relative clauses are used to relate via the object of comparison.

Can someone plz elaborate the meanings of these to sentences!!
