Unit Definitions
What is a Fathom (ftm)?
A fathom is a unit of length equal to 6 feet, commonly used in nautical contexts.
History
The term 'fathom' originates from Old English 'fæðm', meaning to 'embrace' or 'encompass'. It was historically used to measure the depth of water.
Current Use
Today, fathoms are still used in maritime navigation and fishing to indicate water depth and cable length.
