What is a link (US survey)?

A link (US survey) is a historic unit of length used in land surveying in the United States, equal to 1/100 of a Gunter's chain or approximately 0.201168 meters.

What does a nautical league (int.) represent?

An international nautical league is a maritime unit equal to three international nautical miles, or 5,556 meters, used historically to express distances at sea.

Why convert between these two units?

Conversions between link (US survey) and nautical league (int.) assist in translating historical land measurements into maritime distance units, useful in surveying, maritime research, and historical data analysis.
