Ask Us Anything: The Nautical Mile

We all know that the nautical mile is a different length from the statute mile. But why is that? Where does this measurement come from, anyway? Jonathan joins Georgia in this video to explain, with a little bit of history and a sprinkle of navigation. OHPRI'S ASK US ANYTHING series introduces maritime terminology and technology and shows you how we use it aboard the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry! Got a question you want answered?
