About Decameter (dam) and Fathom (ftm) Units

The decameter (dam) is used to measure medium-scale distances like the length of a tennis court (~2.3 dam) or a cricket pitch (~2.0 dam). It’s also practical for land surveying and agricultural plots (e.g., a small field might be 10 dam × 20 dam). The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level.
