What is a nautical league (int.)?

It is a historical maritime length equal to 3 international nautical miles, approximately 5,556 metres, used mainly in historical nautical contexts.

How long is a fingerbreadth?

A fingerbreadth is an informal measure roughly equal to the width of an adult finger, typically about 1.5 to 2 cm, used for rough length approximations.

Can I use this conversion for precise measurements?

No. Because fingerbreadth varies by person and nautical league is a large historic unit, conversions should be used only for approximate or illustrative purposes.

Examples

2 Nautical leagues (int.) equals approximately 583,307.09 fingerbreadths.
0.5 Nautical league (int.) converts to about 145,826.77 fingerbreadths.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting distances on historical nautical charts and 18th–19th century sailing logs.
Converting maritime measurements for archival, legal, or scholarly work.
Estimating small lengths in clinical examinations using fingerbreadths.
Making quick, informal measurements in tailoring, woodworking, cooking, and gardening.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the conversion for rough, approximate distances rather than precise measurements.
Remember fingerbreadth varies by person and context, so treat results as estimates.
Apply this tool primarily for historical, clinical, or informal contexts, not scientific precision.

Limitations

Fingerbreadth is an informal and variable unit lacking precision across users.
Nautical league (int.) is a large, historical unit rarely used today, limiting everyday practicality.
