Bad unit conversion on gross tonnage
Uh, that ain't right. 5,324 kg is about 5.5 tons, not 2,420 tons. Does anyone know what's the right number here? --Doradus (talk) 04:54, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * According to information posted at the San Francisco National Maritime Museum, the gross tonnage is 2420. If memory serves, 1 kg = 2.2 lbs. 5,324 happens to be 2.2 x 2,420. So it seems to me that the conversion is wrong, but I'm no expert in how gross tonnage of a ship converts to kilograms. --Sanfranman59 (talk) 07:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
