Sources
[edit]The major re-write I am providing today is based upon the following sources:
- U.S. Park service pamphlets available at the site
- Informational displays and placards at the site
- The park website [1]
Some text is taken verbatim from government pamphlets/displays and is a fair use of the content since it is not covered by copyright.
I have photographs of the displays available in case somebody wishes to confirm the information. Just ask.

I just added images. They are uploaded via the Commons project. I took them myself and have the necessary licence info on their individual pages. Tobycat 07:00, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
Bad unit conversion on gross tonnage
[edit]gross tonnage of 2,420 (5,324 kg).
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)
