What Is This Tool?

This converter allows users to transform length measurements from the historical or regional unit called reed into the US survey fathom, a nautical length unit. It supports interpreting archaic measurements for maritime, historical, and research purposes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numerical value in reeds you want to convert
  • Select 'reed' as the original unit and 'fathom (US survey) [fath]' as the target unit
  • Submit to obtain the equivalent length in fathoms instantly

Key Features

  • Converts length values from reed to fathom (US survey) precisely as per defined rates
  • Supports maritime, hydrographic, and historical measurement conversions
  • Browser-based and easy to use without additional software
  • Helps in correlating legacy land and water depth records with modern units

Examples

  • 2 Reeds equals approximately 2.999994 fathoms (US survey)
  • 5 Reeds equals approximately 7.499985 fathoms (US survey)

Common Use Cases

  • Translating archaic land measurements in historical or legal documents
  • Interpreting water depths and soundings on nautical charts and surveys
  • Supporting archaeological and ethnographic research involving old measurement systems
  • Reconciliating legacy hydrographic data with current measurement units

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the historical and regional context of reed measurements for accuracy
  • Use the tool for general conversions in maritime and historical research
  • Be aware of slight differences between US survey fathom and international fathom
  • Cross-reference converted results with other sources for critical applications

Limitations

  • The reed unit varied by region and time, affecting conversion precision
  • US survey fathom slightly differs from the international fathom unit
  • Conversion assumes standard unit definitions; local variations may need more adjustment
