What is a ton register?

A ton register is a maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, historically used to measure a ship's internal capacity as gross or net register tonnage.

Why convert ton register to UK gill?

Conversions help translate large historical maritime volumes into smaller, traditional British liquid units for archival, research, or culinary purposes.

Is the UK gill still used today?

The UK gill is largely historical and not commonly used in modern measurements, mainly found in traditional or archival British contexts.
