Default Bolt Thread Size (Damn Metric ****)
In article ,
says...

"Full fathom five my father lies, of his bones are coral made. . ."

"Thy" father, not "my" father.

Anyway, that's 11 feet -- full fathom five would be one fathom and five
feet. The 1 would be full size, the 5 a superscript.

USGS (and previously USCGS) charts refer to the plural as fathoms, not
fathom, e.g. "Soundings in fathoms and feet, depth contours in fathoms."
