What is the chain?
The chain is a unit of length. It equals 66 feet. The chain was first introduced between 1579 and 1607.
Several countries have used chain for several centuries especially in England. Note that there are 80 chains in one mile.
The main use of the chain is in laying out US townships. Official governments must use US survey chain to do surveys according to the federal law passed in 1785.
What is fathom?
As we mentioned before, the human body was the base from which length units were derived. Fathom is one of these units. For a large man holding his arms fully extended, the distance from the middle fingertip of one hand to the middle fingertip of the other hand express one fathom.
For more specification, one fathom equals 6 feet or nearly 1.83 meter. The term "fathom" was derived from the old English "faedm" which means outstretched arms. Fathom is used mainly in water depth measurement.
