About Fathom (ftm)

Traditionally equal to 6 feet (1.8288 meters), the fathom originated as the span of a sailor's outstretched arms and has been used for centuries to measure water depth. Nautical charts and depth soundings still reference fathoms in many maritime traditions, and Mark Twain's pen name came from the riverboat call 'mark twain' meaning two fathoms.

About Yard (yd)

Defined as exactly 0.9144 meters since 1959, the yard is central to American football field markings, fabric sales, and landscaping measurements in the US and UK. Legend attributes its origin to the distance from King Henry I's nose to the tip of his outstretched thumb, though the modern definition is tied to the meter.
