What is a nautical league (UK)?

It is a historical maritime length unit equal to 3 nautical miles, primarily used in British navigation for expressing sea distances.

Why is the long reed considered variable?

The long reed varied in length depending on location and historical period, making its exact conversion dependent on the source context.

Can I use this conversion for precise modern measurements?

No, because both units are obsolete and the long reed's length is inconsistent, conversions are suited to historical research, not exact modern calculations.
