Chain (ch). A chain is 66 feet (20.1168 m), a surveying unit; 80 chains make one mile.
Fathom (ftm). A fathom is 6 feet (1.8288 m), traditionally used to measure the depth of water.
There are 11 fathoms in one chain.
Multiply the number of chains by 11. For example, 10 chains equal 110 fathoms.
One fathom equals 0.0909091 chains.
132 fathoms. Other common values: 5 chains = 55 fathoms and 100 chains = 1,100 fathoms.
