What is a long reed used for historically?

A long reed was historically used as a land length measurement unit in surveying and describing property boundaries with variations depending on locality and period.

How is a nautical league (int.) defined?

An international nautical league equals three international nautical miles, each of which measures 1,852 meters, totaling 5,556 meters.

Can I use this conversion for modern navigation?

No, the nautical league is a historical unit and is not commonly used in current maritime navigation, which prefers nautical miles.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values measured in long reeds, an obsolete land length unit, into nautical leagues (int.), a historical maritime length unit representing three international nautical miles.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the distance in long reeds you want to convert.
Select the output unit as nautical league (int.).
Click convert to see the equivalent distance in nautical leagues.
Use the results to analyze or verify historical land and sea measurements.

Key Features

Converts long reed values to nautical league (int.) using established historical conversion rates.
Useful for interpreting historical land and maritime distance records.
Provides example calculations for easy reference.
Supports research in historical surveying, cartography, and maritime navigation history.

Examples

10 Long reed = 10 × 0.0005760259 = 0.005760259 Nautical league (int.)
100 Long reed = 100 × 0.0005760259 = 0.05760259 Nautical league (int.)

Common Use Cases

Translating old land survey distances into nautical distances for maritime research.
Analyzing distances from historical nautical charts and sailing logs.
Converting measurements for restoration of property boundaries using historic data.
Supporting legal or scholarly work involving historical maritime measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the historical context of the long reed value to ensure accurate conversion.
Use this tool for approximate conversion given variability in traditional units.
Cross-reference converted values when used in legal or archival research.
Be aware that nautical leagues are historical units not used in modern navigation.

Limitations

Long reed length varied historically and regionally, affecting conversion accuracy.
Nautical league (int.) is also historical and rarely used in present-day navigation.
Both units are legacy measures, so exact precision is limited by their variability.
