San Salvador finally touches water
The weight of the San Salvador is not "excessive". A subcontractor responsible for weighing the vessel reported an inaccurate weight that was much lower than the design weight. This was subsequently corrected after the subcontractor was asked to verify their reported weight figure. The corrected measured weight of the vessel is within 2% of the design weight in the April launch condition. Reports of the vessel being overweight are not true.— August 2, 2015 7:36 a.m.
Heavy ship, matey
The difference between the naval architect's estimated weight of the San Salvador and the measured weight was about 2 tons, not 20 tons.— July 20, 2015 5:38 p.m.
