Fathoms are often preferred over feet in maritime contexts because they provide a more practical unit for measuring water depth. One fathom equals six feet, which allows for easier calculations and a clearer understanding of underwater topography. Additionally, using fathoms helps prevent errors during navigation, as many nautical charts are designed with this measurement in mind. This tradition reflects the historical practices of sailors and fishermen who relied on these measurements for safety and efficiency at sea.
