Yeah, it should be 26 THOUSAND tons. If you know anything at all about ships that error jumps out at you, 26 tons is peanuts to a ship. Tennessee Ernie Ford sang about 16 tons being loaded by one man in one shift in the coal mine. I’m an old man and I moved several tons in one little light weight workout in the gym already today. I weigh almost one eighth of a ton.

I have a personal chicken coupe (egg laying - free range) that has 50-60’birds and load/unload a ton (40 bags) of feed in 20-30 minutes, Really. People don’t do physical work anymore. No way to relate.
