About these units
Ton Register (ton reg)
A register ton, or ton register, is a unit of volume, not mass, equal to 100 cubic feet. It is used in maritime contexts to measure the internal capacity of ships—specifically cargo-carrying volume, not weight. Ship registries rely on register tons to calculate taxes, port fees, and cargo classifications. The unit dates back to 19th-century maritime law, where consistent volumetric measurement was critical for international shipping regulation. Despite changes in global trade and containerization, register tons remain important for historical vessel documentation, as well as for understanding older merchant and naval ship specifications.
Gill (US) (gi)
The US gill equals 118.294 mL, representing one-quarter of a US pint. Historically used in measuring alcoholic beverages, the gill once played a significant role in tavern regulations, distilling, and bartending. Its usage declined sharply after Prohibition and continued to fade as ounces and milliliters became preferred for drink recipes and consumer packaging. However, some old cocktail manuals still specify gills, and certain traditional American spirits were originally bottled in gill-based volumes. The gill illustrates the rich historical diversity of volumetric units in American culinary and beverage culture.
