Long Ton in Naval and Shipping History
The long ton (2,240 lbs = 1,016.05 kg) was the British standard for ship displacement until the mid-20th century. Historical warship records, Lloyd's Register entries, and Commonwealth naval treaties often use long tons. Modern naval references increasingly use metric tons, but archives require conversion. The long ton is also called the "imperial ton" or "displacement ton" in maritime contexts.
Comparing the Three Tons
There are three different "tons" in common use: the metric ton (1,000 kg), the short ton (907.185 kg, US), and the long ton (1,016.05 kg, UK). The long ton is the heaviest, the metric ton is in the middle, and the short ton is the lightest. The difference between metric and long tons is only 1.6%, but the difference between short and long tons is over 12%.
Key Takeaways
- 1 metric ton = 0.984207 long tons (UK/imperial tons).
- The long ton (2,240 lbs) is only ~1.6% heavier than a metric ton.
- Used in British shipping, naval displacement, and Commonwealth trade.
- A long ton is also called an imperial ton or displacement ton.
- For rough estimates, metric tons ≈ long tons (within 2%).
- Three tons to remember: metric (1000 kg), short (907 kg), long (1016 kg).
