League

A league is an old unit of distance that was commonly used in the past, especially for measuring distances on land or sea. Traditionally, one league equals about 3 miles or roughly 4.8 kilometers. The exact length of a league could vary by country and time period. It was often used by sailors and travelers to describe how far they had gone. Although the league is mostly obsolete today, it still appears in literature and historical contexts.

Nautical League

A nautical league is a unit of distance once used at sea, mainly by sailors and navigators. It equals 3 nautical miles, which is about 5.56 kilometers or 3.45 miles. Nautical leagues were used to measure longer distances during voyages before modern navigation tools became common. While the nautical mile is still widely used today in maritime and aviation navigation, the nautical league is mostly obsolete and rarely used.
