Floor space?

The article says: "It has two decks which offer 1,500 feet (460 m) with an upper deck cabin with sofas and a lower deck saloon." Schouldn't that be 1500 square feet? It could match to the given 28 metres in length, however conversed to square meter it would be roughly 140. --79.216.211.159 (talk) 04:53, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch - thanks for spotting that, and to IdreamofJeanie for fixing it in the article! That measure being square feet is supported by the 'Newinvestment' ref, and it is quite a wide ship for its length (although I haven't spotted a ref that says how wide it actually is) so ~140 square metres seems somewhat reasonable.
