When I was a kid I was quite confused; I knew that a league was three miles and I knew that the Earth was only around 7500 mile across, so I couldn't figure how they could go down 20,000 leagues, or 60,000 miles. It was one of my more embarassing moments when I finally realized that was how
far they travelled, not how
deep they went.
