Talk:Hudson River Chains

message: 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!)

replies: text: Perhaps the calculation includes the weight of the log rafts used to buoy it. Anyone have a copy of Diamant's book on the chain? Choess (talk) 03:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ft Washington Chain 

message: Three photos of the chain and a drawing of one display formerly at West Point are probably at least two too many. Makes the page cluttered - the maps are far more useful in showing why the chain was constructed across the river at West Point. Surely the drawing and one photo of the current display are enough.
