Understanding the Gulf Stream allowed eighteenth-century sailors to capitalize on its strong, warm ocean current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico along the U.S. East Coast and across the Atlantic toward Europe. By navigating into the Gulf Stream, ships could harness its speed to significantly reduce travel time from America to England. This knowledge led to more efficient routing and planning, enabling faster trade and communication between the continents. Consequently, it played a crucial role in the maritime economy and exploration of the era.
