About Yard (yd) and Fathom (ftm) Units

The Yard (yd) is often used in sports and fabric measurements. A football field is 100 yards long, a yardstick is 1 yard, and a swimming pool can be around 25 yards in length. It’s a common unit in the United States and the UK for measuring land and fabrics. 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.
