It is a historical maritime length unit equal to three international nautical miles, used to express distances at sea.

Why does the reed unit vary in length?

The reed was a regional or archaic measurement that differed by locality and period, often based on the length of a reed plant or measuring rod.

Can I use this converter for modern navigation?

No, since nautical league (int.) is a historical unit, this converter is intended primarily for research and archival purposes.
