What is a reed as a unit of length?

A reed is an old or regional length unit based on a reed plant or measuring rod, with its exact value differing by place and time.

What is a nautical league (int.)?

An international nautical league equals three nautical miles (each about 1852 meters), used historically to measure sea distances.

Why would I convert reeds to nautical leagues (int.)?

Converting these units helps interpret historical records and maps that use varied land or maritime measures, supporting archival and scholarly research.
