Fathoms

A fathom is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts to measure water depth. One fathom is equivalent to 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.

The fathom is defined as 6 feet, making it a convenient measurement for nautical and maritime applications, particularly for depth soundings and underwater measurements.

Fathoms are commonly used in navigation, fishing, and marine activities to describe the depth of water. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and has historical significance in maritime practices.

Span (cloth)

A span (cloth) is a unit of length used historically in textiles and cloth measurement. One span (cloth) is approximately equivalent to 24 inches or 0.6096 meters.

The span (cloth) is based on the width of a person's outstretched hand from thumb to little finger, providing a practical measure for fabric lengths and textile work.

Spans (cloth) were used in the textile industry for measuring and cutting fabric. While less common today, the unit remains of historical interest and reflects traditional practices in cloth measurement and tailoring.
