International Nautical League


The international nautical league is a standardized version of the nautical league used in maritime navigation.

This standardization helps avoid confusion caused by variations in historical definitions of the league. While the nautical mile remains the primary unit in modern navigation, the international nautical league provides a consistent way to measure longer distances at sea when needed.
