  We report preliminary results of a visual inspection of ~4300 deg$^2$ covered
by 4414 images of the 3-GHz VLA Sky Survey (VLASS, epoch 1.1) in search of
extended radio structures. Over 7600 positions were registered, and for a
subset of 270 of the most promising candidates their host objects were searched
in optical and infrared surveys, as well as in other public databases. Among
these 270, we found 9 new giant radio galaxies with a projected radio extent
exceeding 1 Mpc, of which two are likely quasars at a redshift of z$\sim$2, and
another one had hitherto been misidentified with a low-redshift host. Apart
from various sources with unusual radio morphologies, we found numerous
remnant-type double radio sources with very diffuse lobes in VLASS, both with
and without radio cores. We confirm that the high angular resolution and
observing frequency of VLASS is well suited for the optical identification of
radio sources, and despite its limited sensitivity to extended emission, allows
to reveal large radio galaxies based on morphological features unrecognizable
in lower-resolution surveys.
