How big was noah's ark?

Answer 1

The ark was a rectangular vessel having square corners and a flat bottom. It needed no rounded bottom or sharp bow to cut rapidly through the water; it required no steering; its only functions were to be watertight and to stay afloat.
According to the Bible:
The ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
Calculating a cubit as 44.5 cm (17.5 in.) the ark measured 133.5 m by 22.3 m by 13.4 m,
OR
437 ft 6 in. × 72 ft 11 in. × 43 ft 9 in.
less than half the length of the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2. The three decks gave a total of about 8,900 sq m
(96,000 sq ft) of space.

Answer 2

No one really knows. The bible says it was 300x50x30 cubits. But we do not know how big a preflood cubit was. The average cubits during the time of Moses and later was 18-22 inches. That would make the ark 450-550 feet long. If a preflood cubit was 48 inches as some suppose then the ark was up to 1200 feet long. No one really knows. A cubit is the measure from the finger tip to the elbow. On an average 6 foot man it would be about 20 inches. If a preflood man was 15 feet tall as some older human skeletons show, then a cubit would have been over 4 feet. But, like I said-no one knows.

Since the 19th century, there have been numerous attempts to find the ark on the mountains of Ararat. These mountains have two prominent peaks, one 16,950 feet high and the other 12,840 feet. The higher of the two is perpetually covered by snow. Because of the climatic changes that followed the Flood, the ark would soon have been buried by snow. Some investigators firmly believe that the ark is still there, buried deep in a glacier. They claim that there have been periods when the ice melted sufficiently to permit part of the ark to be exposed temporarily.

The book In Search of Noah’s Ark quotes George Hagopian, an Armenian, who claimed that he climbed Mount Ararat and saw the ark in 1902 and again in 1904. On the first visit, he said, he actually climbed on top of the ark. “I stood up straight and looked all over the ship. It was long. The height was about forty feet [12 m].” Regarding his observation on his subsequent visit, he said: “I didn’t see any real curves. It was unlike any other boat I have ever seen. It looked more like a flat-bottomed barge.”

From 1952 to 1969, Fernand Navarra made four efforts to find evidence of the ark. On his third trip to Mount Ararat, he worked his way to the bottom of a crevasse in a glacier, where he found a piece of black wood embedded in the ice. “It must have been very long,” he said, “and perhaps still attached to other parts of the ship’s framework. I could only cut along the grain until I split off a piece about five feet long.”

While the basic plans and dimensions were provided by God, some architectural ability must doubtless be attributed to Noah as the human director of works. The ark was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high 437 ft 6 in. × 72 ft 11 in. × 43 ft 9 in.). It could have had about (2.2 acres) of floor space. The three floors plus the wide roof span probably required, in addition to the ‘compartment’ divisions, the use of some wooden columns and beams to support the weight, as well as to give the structure necessary stability. Although the ark was caulked with tar, there would also be need for careful fitting of the timbers to ensure a reasonably watertight construction.

The ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!

Answer 4

The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. [d] 16 Make a roof for it and finish [e] the ark to within 18 inches [f] of the top.
