The Cabletow
“The length of a cabletow” is not a common expression, but how many know just how long in feet and inches it truly is?
A cabletow’s length from shore is exactly 600 feet. A fathom is 6 feet, and a cable’s length is 100 fathoms, thus 600 feet.
Symbolically, and more truly, a ‘table’s length” is the distance a Brother will go to relieve another’s necessity.
