Talk:Hudson River Chain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Chain could not weighed 186 tons. If the length of the chain was 1,500 feet and each link of the chain was about 2 ft long, there were some 750 links. Each link weighed max. 150 lb, so 750x150 gives 112,500 lb max. A short ton is 2,000 lb, so 112,500/2,000= 56.25 tons (max!) BKW 04:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
