Perspective

To give us some perspective on the capabilities to build such a ship as the ark and a comparison of the size, I've inserted a navy photo of the USS Enterprise and given the different measurements.

A Navy picture of the USS Enterprise. It is 1123 ft long 257 ft wide and 250 ft high. Hold 5000 people including crew and air wing, plus planes and equipment.

The ark was 450 ft long, 75 ft wide and 45 ft high.
300 cubits, 50 cubits, 30 cubits.
My info says a cubit was 18 inches.
I think a football field is 100 yards or 300 feet.

Just thought some of this might help get our mind around the size of the ark a little better.

A hundred years or so after the command to take two of each species, God told Noah to take in seven of clean beasts acceptable for sacrifice. Exodus gives ten such beasts or seventy in all.
