From a height of a few meters above sea level -LRB- say , atop the wall of a coastal fort -RRB- , the horizon is only about 3 nmi away .. Thus there was no need to be able to shoot farther , since more distant targets would not be visible . -RRB-.

Most maritime nations adopted this principle , which developed into a limit of 3 nmi .. -LRB- It has also been suggested that the three-mile limit derived , at least in some cases , from the general application of the league -LRB- a common unit of measurement at sea -RRB- rather than from the range of cannon . -RRB-. cannon. cannon. league.
