1 shackle = 15 fathoms = 90 feet A unit of length used for anchor chain on ships. Anchor chains for ships are made up of 15-fathom lengths of chain joined by detachable links. The joins are distinctively marked so a ship's officer can estimate at a glance how much chain is out. In the merchant marine, the detachable links are painted red. At 15 fathoms, the end of the first shot, the two links on either side of the detachable link are painted white, and 1 turn of wire is wound around the stud of the link on either side of the detachable link. At 30 fathoms, the 2 links on either side of the detachable link are painted white, and 2 turns of wire are put on the second stud on either side of detachable link, and so on for the remaining shots. In the merchant marine, in the command to let go the anchor the amount to be played out is given in shots; in the Navy it is given in fathoms.1

This is one of the dictionary definitions of the word "shot", see http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-definitions/shot. In surveying, the 'chain' means 66ft, 10 chains = 1 furlong, but this is a different use of the unit of chain length. ________________________________________________________________ In the imperial system of measurement there are two units referred to as a "chain". As already stated the usual measurement is the Surveyor's chain (also known as Gunter's chain) = 66 feet. The Engineer's chain = 100 feet. So 75 feet is equal to 1.136 chains, or 0.75 Engineer's chains

In 'Sid Meier's Pirates!', the chain shot upgrade enables you to fire chain-shot type ammunition from your ship. This ammunition is used to damage the sails of the enemy ship, to slow them down or to stop them flanking you.
