Hermione by the Numbers
* 2 sculptures on the ship: Coat of Arms of France and figurehead of a lion
* 15.5 miles of hemp rope control more than 1,000 pulleys
* 2,400 sq. yards of linen for the ship's sails
* 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit is the melting point of the pure iron used to create thousands of pieces for the ship
* 4,000 mature oak trees were used to build the ship's hull
* 24,000 feet of rope keep the masts in place |
