One nautical mile is equal to 1.15 statute miles. Why are nautical miles used?

Schooner_t

	A nautical mile corresponds to one minute of latitude
	It's just an old standard that's used because it's always been used
	Nautical miles adjust for the fact that the vessel is traveling through a fluid.
	The cost of re-instrumenting old vessels is prohibitive
