How can anyone discuss this stuff without even the most basic understanding of the numbers and terms they are using?

The figure of 2813 has absolutely nothing to do with the weight of the vessel. It is a regulatory number calculated with regard to internal volume.

Subtracting net from gross to come up with a ship's cargo weight is even more preposterous.

Displacement of Elwha is very close to 4000 tons.

It takes less time to look it up than it does to post what should be very embarrassing nonsense.
I've read that being on this forum is really a social event and that real information is just a distant, secondary thing....
