How Many Leagues Under the Sea?

My son asked me the other day "how deep is the ocean?."

I had to Google this question and have since learned that a "League" is 3 miles below sea. I have heard this term many times throughout my life and never really took to its past.

Obviously, no one has determined how many leagues are under the sea but some might speculate 20,000.
