Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas · Jules Verne, 1870
How big is the Nautilus in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas?
70m
Seventy metres of riveted iron, 8 m across. More than twice the length of a blue whale.
From the bookReal world
For a year ships report something "longer and larger than a whale". When Aronnax, Conseil and Ned Land end up standing on its back, it turns out to be made of riveted iron plates.
Inside there is a library of 12,000 books, an organ and a salon with windows on the sea. It runs on electricity, made with sodium from the sea.
On the globe the Nautilus is drawn thousands of times too big so you can see it at all.
