Convert Burgos Foot to Imperial

[Jeffrey Modell]

Does anyone know the precise conversion rate of a Spanish Burgos Foot to either a meter or an English/Imperial foot? I have searched the web diligently and cannot find mention of what Burgos Feet are (presumably a measure developed in Burgos, Spain)? If it is another name for Spanish Pie, then I get 1 Burgos Foot is 10.91 inches but this is just guessing! Links also appreciated so I can understand what it truly means.

just a quick check at Three decks -

British First Rate ship of the line 'Santisima Trinidad' (1805)

British First Rate ship of the line 'Santisima Trinidad' (1805). Dates of service, name changes, previous and next incarnations, dimensions, armament, commanders, officers and crewmen, actions, battles, sources

threedecks.org

Maybe you can recalculate based on this comparison
Please check also other spanish ships on this page, not that there was a miscalculation directly on the Santisima

The conversion ratio using a Spanish "pie" is 0.91 * Burgos Feet to get Imperial Feet.
The 3decks figure is the same! That confirms it for me. Good idea! Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, I've probably been late to your question, but in case I could help someone else, I've attached an image of the document "Medidas exactas de los pies y palmos con que se miden en el Baltico las Maderas de construcción. Se han puesto los pies de Burgos, y Paris para el cotejo" extracted from the CATÁLOGO COLECTIVO DE LA RED DE BIBLIOTECAS DE LOS ARCHIVOS ESTATALES - ESPAÑA
