Incorrect figures

[edit]

"Over those 338 days, it dredged about 300,000,000 cubic yards (230,000,000 m3)"

This does not work out by any sanity check. It's nearly a million cubic meters per day where the article states earlier that it typically did 14000 cubic meters per day and did 22 buckets per minute. At .45 cubic meters per bucket it works out to 17.5 buckets per second to make the ridiculous rate. Can anyone supply a more reasonable figure?Linktex (talk) 14:30, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That figure is in the source, though I agree it doesn't appear accurate. I'll remove it and try to find better info. (It's likely these were off by a factor of 10 in the source.) Mindmatrix 15:22, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
