"An iron ship, Professor Aronnax, runs 1,125 francs per metric ton. Now then, the Nautilus has a burden of 1,500 metric tons. Consequently, it cost 1,687,000 francs, hence 2,000,000 francs including its accommodations, and 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 with all the collections and works of art it contains."
"Een ijzeren vaartuig, mijnheer Aronnax, kost 1125 franc per ton; de Nautilus meet 1500.2 ton: zij kost dus 1.687.725 [2] franken, dus zoowat vier of vijf millioen met alle kunstwerken en schatten, welke zij bevat."
