1 fathom = exactly 6 feet (1.8288 meters).
Fathoms were the traditional unit for sounding water depth, used by sailors for centuries.
100 fathoms = 600 feet = 182.88 meters.
Yes, particularly in maritime charts, fishing, and some naval traditions. Sonar depths are often displayed in fathoms.
From Old English 'fæðm' meaning outstretched arms. It was the distance from fingertip to fingertip.
All conversions use exact international definitions, providing results accurate to floating-point precision (about 15 significant digits).
Yes, simply use the inverse formula or look for the reverse converter in our collection.
This conversion is commonly used in science, engineering, education, and professional applications requiring maritime depth measurement.
This conversion uses internationally defined exact factors wherever possible. Any approximation is noted in the results.
Conversion factors are from NIST, BIPM (International Bureau of Weights and Measures), and ISO standards.
