Feet

The foot is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Since the International Yard and Pound Agreement of 1959, one foot is defined as 0.3048 meters exactly. In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches and one yard comprises three feet. The foot is taken from the average length of a mans foot, but in older times was just uner 12 inches.

Nautical Miles

A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters.Historically, it was defined as the meridian arc length corresponding to one minute (1/60 of a degree) of latitude. Today the international nautical mile is defined as exactly 1,852 metres. The derived unit of speed is the knot, one nautical mile per hour. To sail from Southampton to New York would cover a distance of around 3,081 nautical miles.
