Talk:Brazilian cruiser Almirante Barroso (1882)

Miles
There are five distances in the article in miles. It is not clear if these are nautical miles or imperial miles. The context makes them likely to be nautical. We have taken the Portuguese 'velocidade de 12 milhas horárias' from the reference as being 12 knots. The mention of a location being 'approximately 120 miles from Suez' and 'about 30 miles south of the Ras Gharib lighthouse' means there about 90 of these miles between Suez and Ras Gharib. Google maps has that distance as 190km in a straight line. That would be 190 km which also supports them being nautical. If no one objects, I'll clarify the miles as being nautical and include a conversion to km. Cavrdg (talk) 11:25, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
